— from Doug Bechtel —
The Actors Theater of Orcas Island will hold auditions for the award winning comedy “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” by Christopher Durang. Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play, this play has roles for four women and two men. Ages are somewhat flexible.
Auditions will be held from 7 to 9 pm on Thursday, December 3rd and Sunday, December 5th at the Grange. Auditions will be from readings from the script. You do not need to attend both auditions. Please be prompt for the auditions. If necessary, call backs will be held early in the week of December 6th. Rehearsals will begin as soon as the play is cast with seven performances on the last two weekends in February and the first weekend in March.
If you can’t make either of the auditions or need additional information contact the Director, Doug Bechtel at 317-5601. A copy of the play will be available for review at the Library.
The story of the play: Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness worries the aging Masha.
