DM Community Playhouse Holds Auditions for DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL, 9/19

By:

Auditions for the new comedy, "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel," will be held at The Des Moines Community Playhouse at 6:00 P.M. on Sunday, Sept. 19. All auditions are open to the public; no one is pre-cast.

"Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" contains feature roles for 7 men, including 1 African-American, and 2 women, ages 16 and up. Performances are Nov. 5-21, 2010. "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" is directed by Ron Ziegler.

"Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" is the uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who may have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel. As they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don't believe any of it until feathers, wings, and a tiara are discovered along the way. The play hysterically interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations, and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp. Ultimately a sweet allegory about
redemption, "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" has been hailed by audiences as a rare comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson. "Duck Hunter Shoots Angel" is by Mitch Albom, author of "Tuesdays With Morrie."

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and
volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
