The Grove Theatre announces auditions for Father of the Bride, which is running on weekends from July 11th to the 27th. Auditions will be held at the theatre on Monday and Tuesday, June 9th and 10th from 6 pm – 9 pm, with call backs on Wednesday, June 11th by invitation. Rehearsals begin on Wednesday, June 11th. Director: Patricia McQuillan.
All roles are open.
Mister Banks: mid-forties. Banker, stuffy and sometimes overbearing but always means well and always with lots of love.
Mrs. Banks: late thirties to mid-forties. A lovely woman who is efficient in every way. Loves her husband and children very much but occasionally finds herself having to manage minor conflicts.
Kay Banks: eldest child and only daughter in early twenties. Kay’s sudden announcement of the impending marriage to Buckley takes everyone by surprise – including Buckley.
Ben Banks: second eldest child in late teens. Easy going but not too sure the marriage will ever take place. Loves his sister and loves to torture his little brother Tommy.
Tommy Banks: 10 / 12 years old. Nice boy feeling a little left out with all the fussing over his sister’s marriage and who can or cannot attend the wedding.
Buckley Andrew Dunstan: Mid-twenties. Has been dating Kay but they have never even mentioned ‘marriage’. Does not know how to handle this. Some of his questions make Kay very upset and he does not have a clue what that’s all about.
Buzz Taylor: Tommy’s best friend.
Peggy Swift: 17/18 years old. Ben Banks’ girlfriend.
Delilah: Family housekeeper/cook.
Miss Bellamy: Mr. Banks’ secretary (and the keeper of the list of guests including possible guests and definitely not guests - of the wedding).
Mr. Massoula: 40’s / 50’s. Owns the catering company hired by Mr. Banks. Speaks with a heavy accent combined with big arm gestures and big smiles. He makes many promises but can he keep them?
Joe (Mr Massoula’s assistant) flamboyant and funny.
Red, Pete, Tim’s man: Some have lines and all participate in the final scene of show. Additional men/woman to participate in setting the stage for the reception would be very welcome.
