Theatre--Auditions

Brian Egland will be holding open auditions for The Birthday Dinner (a play By Brian Egland) on Monday, August 31, 2009 at 6 pm in McLaurin Hall (104 Boucher Drive on the UL-Lafayette campus).

The cast consists of four men and four women:
• Jerýline Pete – Main Character/40 years old
• Emma Osmond - Jerýline's Daughter/18 years old
• Kaden "KC" Channing – Jerýline's Son/15 years old
• Miles "Mr. Zee" Zeeman – KC's Teacher/Late 30's

• Judith Channing – Guy's Wife, Jerýline's Half Sister/35 years old
• Ava – Miles' girlfriend/21 years old

The Birthday Dinner is a story that follows a family with a few missing pieces. Those pieces are brought back to complete the puzzle of a family only to find that the picture has changed and the pieces don't fit the puzzle the way they once did. Laughs, tears, and everything in between arise in the attempt to place the pieces back into the picture and with the addition of a few extra pieces to make the picture complete.


Auditioners need to have a one minute monologue ready to go, and a headshot and resume (if available). Also be prepared to read from the script individually and/or with other auditioners. The show will run October 29th, 30th and 31st.

Egland is also looking for a stage manager and other technical crew.
