Auditions for IPAL's last play of the regular season, The New Kid on the Block by Pat Cook, will be held at the Essanee Theater at 6:00 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, March 22 and 23. Donna Berard is directing. Performances are scheduled for June 3-13. There are roles for three males and four females:
Carl - Rather bossy man in his 70's
Lloyd - A southern gentleman retired from the Army in his 70's
Parker - A genial man in his 70's
Will Stewart - A cautious woman in her 60's or 70's with a secret
Morgana Bolton - Bombastic gossip around age 60
Jolene Balfoy - Will's sarcastic daughter and mother to Will's grown grandchildren
Eleanor Dumfries - Dramatic lady in her 60's or 70's
The plot concerns Carl, Lloyd and Parker, three elderly gentlemen looking for a roommate to help pay the rent. Their problem seems answered when Will shows up, except Will turns out to be a lady. Lloyd and Parker like her and want to vote her in, but Carl barks back, "We're not voting on prom queen!" Carl's reaction to Will masks a relationship between that is different from what the audience might expect.
