Auditions for Laughter on the 23rd Floor by the Laurel Mill Playhouse, Dec 12 & 13

Auditions for Laughter on the 23rd Floor
By Neil Simon
Directed by: John D’Amato

Auditions for Laughter on the 23rd Floor will be held on:
December 12, 2016 at 7:00 PM

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse.

Performances: February 17 – March 12, 2017

Description: Inspired by Neil Simon’s early career experience as a junior writer for Your Show of Shows, the play focuses on Sid Caesar-like Max Prince, the star of a weekly comedy-variety show circa 1953, and his staff, including Simon’s alter-ego Lucas Brinkman, who maintains a running commentary on the writing, fighting, and wacky antics which take place in the writer’s room.

Audition will consist of telling a joke and then be prepared to read from the script. Note: The play is dialogue driven and characters are quick witted. Expectation is actors will be off book by end of January. If you have questions prior to the audition please contact John D’Amato at john_damato@hotmail.com

No roles are precast and roles open to all ethnicities and could cast women for a couple of the men’s roles. Bring resume and headshot and list of conflicts from December 12, 2016 through March 12, 2017. Further questions can also be directed to maureencrogers@gmail. com or 301-452-2557.

Read through: December 19 at 7:00 pm to get scripts out prior to holiday. Location to be determined.

Rehearsals will begin 1st week of January, 2017 and 3 days a week thereafter prior to tech week.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing life-unaffirming ‘ding’ of the bell that signifies a mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves!

This 2012 Tony-winning play is a wildly imaginative adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novel, telling how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a.

Dates: Monday, November 7 and Wednesday, November 9, with callbacks at Thursday November 10. Doors open at 7 pm and auditions will start at 7:30 pm.

Location: The Bowie Playhouse in Bowie, MD (16500 Whitemarsh Park Dr, Bowie, MD 20715)

Auditions for A Visit From Scarface will be held at the Greenbelt Arts Center on Monday, October 10, and Tuesday October 11 at 7:30. Call-backs if needed will be Wednesday, October 12.

Location: Greenbelt Arts Center

The Story: The year is 1932 and the famous Hollywood writer Ben Hecht has just finished his screenplay for a movie produced by Howard Hughes called SCARFACE, loosely based on the real life story of Al Capone. Hecht’s agent shows up at his Hollywood apartment to get the script but it’s missing! Capone has sent a couple of his associates to have a little “talk” about the script with Ben. The action and dialog flies faster than bullets as Hecht tries to get the script back while dodging the gangsters, his agent, a blond starlet, a woman from the movie censor board, a drunk neighbor and the house detective.
