Seeking:

1 Actor:

Seeking an actor who is tall, dark, and handsome in an All–American Gene Kelly-esque way. To play the following roles:

• Jerry: in ONCE IN A LIFETIME (Early 30s – Early 40s) Slick and suave, a wheeler-dealer, a natural salesman. Sharp and smart, a bit of a schemer, but also very likeable

• As Cast in YENTL

• Fred Sterroll: in FALLEN ANGELS (Early 30s – Late 40s) Good -Naturedly direct, pleasant. Upper-middle class, a bit bland but likeable.

1 Actress:

Seeking an actress that has presence and ability with an emotional range to play the following roles:

• May: in ONCE IN A LIFETIME (Mid 20s – Mid 30s) Tall, slender, attractive. Biting, sharp, and incisive. Intelligent and witty, driven, yet graceful and elegant, sure of herself. A bit world-weary. Seeing an actress who has the ability to play a sassy leading lady.

• Hadass: in YENTL (Late teens – Early 20s) Blonde, extremely beautiful. Sweet, docile, charming, pliant. Lovely in both face and spirit.

OR

• Yentl: in YENTL (To read Late teens – Early 20s) Studious, intelligent, independent, and fierce. Devoted to her faith. Not classically beautiful, but there is an intense quality that makes her captivating; could believably pass as a boy.

• Julia Sterroll: in FALLEN ANGELS (Early 30s – Early 40s) Sharp and bright, elegant, a bit catty when need be, yearning for something more in life. A Noël Coward leading lady who is drunk with class.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

Director: Mark Rucker

By: George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart

1st Rehearsal:12/1/11. Runs: 1/4/12 – 2/29/12

Synopsis:

Out-of-work New York stage performers May, Jerry and George, head to Hollywood to make their fortune teaching silent movie stars how to speak and articulate with the onset of the “Talkies.” By Broadway luminaries Kaufman and Hart, this hilarious screwball spoof melds the worlds of theatre and film in brilliant style and became the basis for Singin’ in the Rain.

YENTL

Director: Gordon Greenberg

By Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer

Based on short story by: Isaac Bashevis Singer

1st Rehearsal: 12/15/11. Runs: 1/18/12 – 4/26/12

Synopsis:

In 19th century Eastern Europe, options for young women are few, and the study of Torah and Talmud are forbidden. Yentl’s only hope of pursuing her dreams is to disguise herself as a boy in order to learn. But when she falls in love, she must decide whether or not to reveal the truth. For everyone who has wanted to do something and was told they couldn’t, and for everyone who has loved the wrong person for the right reason, this beautifully written play with music resonates with pure magic.

FALLEN ANGELS

Director: Peter Amster

By Noël Coward

1st Rehearsal: 1/24/12. Runs: 3/7/12 – 5/13/12

Synopsis:

This brilliant comedy is Noël Coward at his best – sharp, witty and utterly sophisticated. Julia and Jane are the best of friends. Both are married to loving (if slightly dull) husbands, both are embarking on middle age with a little regret and both have a secret past – they both had an affair with a dashing Frenchman named Maurice. Now, Maurice is back in town, and with their husbands away, they embark on an evening of lusty anticipation and hilarious inebriation as they await Maurice’s arrival.
