The Hole In The Wall Theater announces auditions for “Champagne and Licorice,”  the fifth show of their 2018-2019 season. Written by local author Scott Stephen Kegler, this will run May 17^th-June 8^th. This production will be directed by Christina Giannelli and Produced by Kate Micari-Miller.

All those auditioning should bring a headshot or recent photo and be prepared to list all conflicts between 3/17/19 and 6/9/19. Actors will be asked to read from the script.

Rehearsals will be some combination of Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, depending upon actor availability.

Show Synopsis:

In “Champagne and Licorice” a young woman heads home to Vermont to share her terminal diagnosis with her clan. What greets her on this New Year’s Eve though, is a lot of familial mayhem: she finds out about her brother’s “polyamorous relationships,” she meets her mother’s boyfriend, and they’re all joined by a drunken clown-not a metaphorical clown but a literal clown.

Character Descriptions:

Silky: A dying young woman.

Phil: A drunk part-time clown.

Barbara: Silky’s Mother.

Robert: A friend of Silky’s mother.

Eddie: Silky’s brother.

Cherice: A young pregnant woman.

Sacha: A Russian Locksmith.

All ethnicities and ages are encouraged to audition. These roles are flexible and more about putting together a cohesive family unit.

(“Streetcar Named Desire,” originally selected for this time period, has been removed from the season lineup.)
