VANYA

50s, living in Bucks County. Resigned to his life, more or less, at least compared to Sonia.

SONIA

His step sister, 50s, living with him in Bucks County. Discontent, upset, regretful. Should be able to do a great Maggie Smith impersonation.

MASHA

His sister, 50s, glamorous, successful, but a somewhat dizzy and insecure actress who goes gallivanting around the world.

SPIKE

An aspiring actor, 20s to early 30s, hot, sexy, self-absorbed, not the brightest - Masha’s new companion. Loves to show off his great bod. Actors auditioning for SPIKE, please bring swimsuit or be wearing Calvin Kline type underwear. SPIKE spends a good deal of the show in his underwear and must look great in them. Spike will be asked to improvise his reverse striptease.

NINA

Lovely, sincere would be actress, 20’s, visiting her aunt and uncle next door. Star struck and energetic.

CASSANDRA

Cleaning lady and soothsayer, any age, any race. Sassy and full of life. The original cast used an African American actress.

 

 

 

All auditions will be selected excerpts (monologues) from the script. The selections are now available and may be picked up in the LVLT lobby during regular box office hours. Please be familiar with the selections, but they don’t need to be memorized.

Picture and Resumes are accepted

Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home in Bucks County, PA, where they bicker and complain about the circumstances of their lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments flare up, eventually leading to threats to sell the house. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.

Rehearsals will be mainly weekday evenings and some week-end days or nights, depending on cast conflicts. Rehearsal conflicts during the last 2 weeks are strongly discouraged.

*LVLT does NOT pay - We are an entirely volunteer organization!
