Audition

The Penfield Players theatre company is announcing auditions for its spring melodrama: Egad! The Woman in White.

Director Nicholas Hambas will hold auditions on Monday, February 20 and Tuesday, February 21 at 7 p.m. at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Road. British accents for all roles are recommended.

For more information contact the director at 359-1232 or nhambas@rochester.rr.com

There are roles for four men and six women:

2 women - ages 18-35

4 women - ages 35-80

2 men - ages 18-35

2 men - ages 35-80

An old-fashioned melodrama written by Tim Kelly and based on Wilkie Collins' classic, it features a disreputable villain set to dispatch with his adversaries at all costs. But he's scared of the mysterious "woman in white" who's escaped from the asylum to seek him out. Abandoned wives, insolent servants, lawyers, hypochondriacs and manly drawing masters create a spectacle across the stage resulting in laughter, fun and spectacular finale as they all aim to bring the villain to justice.

General Audition Info

The Penfield Players hold separate auditions for each of the season's shows. Our fall performances are in November and we usually hold auditions in August. Our spring show is always a melodrama and auditions vary. All auditions are held at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Rd. in Penfield.

Auditions usually consist of readings from the script, but some directors encourage a prepared monologue. It is strongly recommended that you read the script before auditioning. Reading scripts are usually available from the director.

You may also call the Audition Hotline at 234-6789 and press #7 for audition information.

We look forward to seeing you at a future audition!
