LVLT announces Open Auditions for
"The Lady in Question" by Charles Busch.
Auditions Dates and Times:
November 17 and 18 at 7pm
Location:
Las Vegas Little Theatre 3920 Schiff Drive
All Roles are Available.
Gertrude Garnet (35-50, pronounced “Gar-NAY”)
The former
Barrelhouse Gertie, Kissing Kitten of the Keys, now a glamorous,
internationally acclaimed concert pianist. Her grand, very affected
manner disguises her honky-tonk background.
Kitty, the Countess of Borgia (35-50)
Gertrude’s
longtime sidekick from her vaudeville days. An attractive blonde,
wisecracking, tough as nails but with a heart of gold. Kitty can affect a
high tone when it’s required.
Professor Erik Maxwell (30-45)
A handsome, dashing American academic, on a mission to rescue his mother, Raina Aldric.
Baron von Elsner (30-50)
A dignified, imposing man in his forties. A cold-blooded killer with a silky charm – and a need for his mother’s approval.
Baroness Augusta von Elsner (45-65)
White-haired and magnificent, she is the Baron’s mother. Her aristocratic charm masks an evil, cold spirit.
Lotte (18-25)
The Baron’s teenage niece. The picture-postcard of a German maiden … and a homicidal little fiend.
Raina Aldric (50-65)
Erik’s
mother, imprisoned for her anti-Nazi activities. A beautiful woman,
fragile but still vibrant. She lives on drama and speaks in the manner
of the wildly flamboyant stage actress she is.
Professor Mittelhoffer (50-65)
An anti-Nazi activist, he is a kindly, eccentric old man.
Heidi (18-25)
The
professor’s daughter. She is very pretty, courageous and an emotional
spitfire. Her fragile, Dresden-china doll appearance belies her fierce
temper.
Karel (20-30)
A handsome Nazi storm trooper, torn between allegiance to Hitler and love for Heidi.
Hugo Hoffman (30-40)
An intense, high-strung painter. A touch of Peter Lorre.
Dr. Maximilian (40-50)
An elegant Nazi aristocrat who conducts human experiments.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
Picture and Resumes are accepted but, are not required.
