The Odd Couple

Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00PM

By Neil Simon
Directed by Connie Mockenhaupt
The classic comedy opens as a group of the guys are assembled for poker in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. Late to arrive is Felix Unger , who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed and none too tense. Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results as The Odd Couple is born.

Now Playing
The Hobbit
(May 5 - June 10)
Fantasy Drama by Markland Taylor, Based on the classic by J.R.R. Tolkien
It's unusual for a modern work to become a classic so quickly, but Tolkien's "ring" stories, which began with The Hobbit, clearly are in this very special category. They stir the imagination and intellect of everyone they touch. Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is
asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It's the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth-and the hearts of those children and adults who continue to enjoy this kind of magic.
Tickets are $17.00 for General
$15.00 for Seniors and SARTA Members
$13.00 for Children 12 and under

Our Town
Auditions - May 21 - 7:00pm
Written by Thornton Wilder
Directed by Allen Schmeltz
Described by Edward Albee as "...the greatest American play ever written," the story follows the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage, and "Death and Eternity."
You should have a good understanding of the play and the characters. You are encouraged to read the script before auditioning. Scripts may be ordered from Samuel French, Inc. This play will be done in the traditional style with a basically bare stage and the miming of most props so a strong character development is important.
Please bring a headshot or photo and resume to the audition. The audition will consist of cold readings from the script.
Performance dates:
Shows run Fridays, Saturdays at 8:00pm, and Sundays at 4:00pm from July 13- August 5
Rehearsals:
Rehearsals will be 5-6 weeks before opening, 4-5 evenings a week. Not everyone will need to be at all rehearsals.
Character Descriptions:
Stage Manager - (male or female any age from young adult to senior will be considered) - The host of the play and the dramatic equivalent of an omniscient narrator.
George Gibbs - (able to look 16-17 years old) - Dr. and Mrs. Gibbs's son. His courtship of Emily Webb and eventual marriage to her is central to the play.
Emily Webb - (able to look 16-17 years old) - Mr. and Mrs. Webb's daughter and Wally's older sister. Emily is George's schoolmate and next-door neighbor, then his fiancée, and later his wife.

Mrs. Gibbs - (look middle aged) - George's mother and Dr. Gibbs's wife.

Simon Stimson - The choirmaster, whose alcoholism and undisclosed "troubles" have been the subject of gossip in Grover's Corners for quite some time.
Rebecca Gibbs - George's younger sister. Rebecca's role is minor, but she does have one very significant scene with her brother.
Wally Webb - Emily's younger brother. Wally is a minor figure, but he turns up in Act III among the group of dead souls.
Joe Crowell, Jr. - The paperboy. Joe's routine of delivering papers to the same people each morning emphasizes the sameness of daily life in Grover's Corners.

Constable Warren - A local policeman. Constable Warren keeps a watchful eye over the community.
