LTFR Announces Auditions For THE FIRE BARN 11/1, 11/2

Audition Notice for November 1st and 2nd @ 7 pm- "The Fire Barn" 340 Prospect Street Fall River, MA 02720-5206 "Corner of Prospect Street and Highland Avenue"

Two one-act plays by Joseph Wallace: Hush Little Celia, Don't say a Word and Something's Rotten in the State of Denmark

No experience is necessary, and the audition will be a "cold reading", meaning no monologue need be prepared for the audition.

Hush Little Celia requires a mixed ensemble cast of 8 actors, most of whom are between the ages of 13-19. 

There are a few male and female "adult" roles, as well.

Synopsis: Celia doesn't speak. Her teacher's want to know why. Her father is angry at her. Her psychologist wants to help her. But fellow student Todd only wants to get close to her. And, through persistence, bad poetry, and a bizarre audition for a production of Romeo & Juliet, he does. A gem of a play about love, psychology, and what happens to kids when they go unheard.
The honesty of this play and the manner in which the characters have been brought to life will move audience and participants in a most profound way. Standing ovations at its premier production in a contest setting with a judge stating; "A marvelous play - every single character is a gem."

Something's Rotten is a farcical spoof of HAMLET, requiring between 6-15 adult and/or children roles (the play is about an amateur production of HAMLET.)

Synopsis: The Bard's most famous work is converted into a farce so hysterical, you'll never read the classic the same way again. Here is an excerpt from Hamlet's famous soliloquy, To be, or not to be(HE has forgotten his lines.) uh, nobler stuff and arrows with slingsbears shall not eat bodkins, uh, or fardelsto die, to sleepto not snorebut dream wealthily in PaduaHark! What light on yonder window breaks? It is the yeast, and in the north, the cake riseth! Also, because Wallace stays so close to the original plot, this play makes an excellent teaching vehicle as well as an unforgettable evening of theatre.

Dates for the shows are January 21-31, 2010 at the
