Theatre--Auditions

After the HUGE successes of Grease and A Christmas Story, the Acadia Players takes on one of the biggest endeavors in its history.
 
Noises Off is a hiliarious spoof of community theater life and the sometimes happenings before, during and after a performance of a play. In it's "adult humor" style way, the players of "Nothing On" must deal with all the aspects of Murphy's Law (what can go wrong usually will) as they seek to prepae (only hours before opening curtain) and then perform their rendition.
 
Unrequited love, mixed up emotions, jealousy (and let's not forget sardines) all combine to make a rollical time which will have adult audiences rolling in the aisles. Add to that a cactus and an axe, and audiences will be "splitting their sides" as they watch this play evolve at lightning speed.
 
The Acadia Players will be holding auditions for Noises Off from Monday, March 1st, through Wednesday, March 3rd at the Historic Rice Theater in downtown Crowley. Auditions will begin at 6 pm each evening. 
 
They are looking for 5 males and 4 females (with two roles that could be played by either) 18 years of age or older. The play is not for the faint at heart, as characters will play "dual roles" - meaning that they will play the character they are cast as AND the character that their character plays in the spoof play.
 
Performances are scheduled for July 14th through the 17th at the Historic Rice Theater in Crowley, with a Media Night performance on July 9th.
 
Those interested may show up one of the nights of audition, or contact the Crowley Flower Shop at 783-1512 or Jimmy Broussard, President, at 783-5532.
 
Noises Off is written by Michael Frayn and is being produced by special permission of Samuel French, Inc.
