ABOUT THE PLAY: Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.
ROLES: There are 4 roles in this play: 2 female-presenting and 2 male-presenting.
LOGAN – Female, Caucasian looking, the high school drama teacher who’s always pushing the envelope in potentially inappropriate ways. Earnest about theatre and proving herself.
JAXTON – Male, Caucasian looking, yoga practitioner/actor. Politically correct to a fault, a big one. He’s that confident guy everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns.
ALICIA – Female, brunette, Caucasian looking but has looks that would have been cast as ethnic in 1950s movies. Without guile. Sexy and hot, but not bright.
CADEN – Male, Caucasian looking, the academic. Awkward elementary school history teacher with dramatic aspirations but no experience.
WHAT TO PREPARE: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Sides (from the script) will be provided at the audition, but the director encourages auditioners to read the script ahead of time. Bring a printed copy of the audition sheet and conflict calendar with you to the audition. Both are available at: AUDITIONS
REHEARSALS: A read-through will be scheduled within 1 week of auditions, and rehearsals will begin very soon thereafter. There will generally be 1-2 weeknight rehearsals per week and 1 weekend rehearsal per week. Once we are closer to our performance dates, rehearsals will likely become more frequent. Not every actor will be called to every rehearsal. Please see the calendar in the audition packet for important/required dates.
PERFORMANCES: All performances will be at the Spring Garden Mill.
Week One: October 17, 18, 19
Week Two: October 23, 24, 25, 26
Week Three: October 30, 31, Nov 1, 2
Friday & Saturday performances begin at 8:00pm. Thursday performances begin at 7:30pm. Sunday matinee performances begin at 3:00pm. Call times for actors will be one hour prior to performance.
