Open Auditions: Unnecessary Farce
February 20 @ 7:00 pm
All roles are open – Casting is open to everyone and newcomers are especially welcomed and encouraged. Crew volunteers are also needed. Auditions will consist of cold reading from the script. Please come prepared to tell of any conflict dates you have from auditions to final show date. Ages are relative, and should not discourage anyone from auditioning.
For more information, you may contact the director at performingnc@gmail.com.
ERIC SHERIDAN (male, 20s+) — Local police officer. A bit of a social nerd. A bookish, even-keeled police officer who’s thrown into some difficult situations — while not wearing any pants. Uncomfortable sharing his feelings and emotions.
BILLIE DWYER (female, 20s+) — Local police officer. Eric’s partner. Excitable. Reactionary. High energy. Eager to please. Although she seems to lack every skill needed for police work, she is enthusiastic and eager to succeed.
KAREN BROWN (female, 20s+) — Accountant. Tries to be professional at all times, but unable to control her yearning for ERIC. Usually has a very professional demeanor, but seems unable to keep herself in control today. *NOTE: the actress cast would likely be on stage in her underwear and/or a slip.
MAYOR MEEKLY (male, 40s-70s) — Innocent. A tad naive. Sweet and gentle. Not the sharpest tack in the tool belt.
AGENT FRANK (male, 25-50s) — Head of security at Town Hall. Tries to be tough and crusty, but in moments of crisis easily becomes insecure and fearful.
TODD (male, 20-50s) — A professional hit man quick to lose his cool. Person of few words who’s accent gets thicker the angrier he gets, until he’s completely indecipherable. *Requires a Scottish accent.
MARY MEEKLY (female, 40s-70s) — Sweet. Meek. Perfect match for her husband MAYOR MEEKLY but harbors a deep secret.
