Utah and Idaho Theatre Opportunities
Posted by crazeagency on Friday, July 2, 2010
Wasatch Theatre Company and the Utah Association of Regional Theatres
(U-ART) are holding auditions for the annual Page-to-Stage Festival (including
their 10th Annual Shorts-Shorts program), which highlights the playwriting
process from first draft to production.
Performances will run September 9 – 25 at the Rose Wagner Studio Theatre.
Six original shorts by local playwrights have been selected for production,
so many actors of all ages and backgrounds are needed. Several local theatres
(including Around the Globe Theatre, Avalon Isle, Babcock Readers, Holladay
Arts, People Productions, Proletariat Theatre, and Pygmalion Theatre) will be
involved in directing and producing the event.
Running on alternating nights with the shorts program will be an evening of
original plays based on Aesop’s Fables that will feature a troupe of actors
playing multiple roles working with one director (Mark Fossen). Actors are
needed for this production as well. We are also looking for people to
participate in staged readings and a cabaret that will follow the Saturday
evening performances.
Auditions will be held Wednesday, July 7th, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. and Saturday, July 10, 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. in Studio A at the Rose Wagner (138 West 300 South).

The show includes adult themes and language.
The music is country/western gospel/rockabilly.
Characters:
The Love Triangle and The Villian
JEANNIE GARSTECKI, 35-45 years old. Jeannie has llived in a trailer at Armadillo Acres for 20 years with her husband and high-school sweetheart, Norbert. A faded beauty, she was 17 when she married, 18 when her son was born and 23 when he got kidnapped. Thant, coupled with a really bad perm, has turned her into an agoraphobic. She hasn't left her trailer in all these years, and the man she loves is drifting further and further away and she's determined to get him back...that is if she could manage to get out of the trailer to do it...
NORBERT GARSTECKI, 35-45 years old. Jeannie's husband Norbert collects tolls for a living and tries to be as good a husband as one can be to an agoraphobic. A former high-school football star, he has rugged good looks marred by fatigue and the stress of his difficult marriage. He is a simple man who desperately wishes his wife could get our of the trailer, but he's not equipped with the emotional or intellectual tools to help her do it. He has never loved or slept with a woman other than Jeannie.That is until he meets...
PIPPI, 28-35 years old. Pippi is a striking beauty with a great body and a taste for clothing that shows it off. Up to this point, Pippi's life has been about surviving. She is a professional stripper who has gotten by on her looks and talents for dancing and petty theft. She means no harm and is ready to stop making bad choices and start making changes, but first she has to get lost in a hick-town trailer park in North Florida so she won't be found by her last bad choice...
DUKE, 24-28 years old. Duke is Pippi's obsessive, possesive and excessive Magic-Marker-sniffing boyfirend; "ex"-boyfriend according to Pippi. Not so, according to Duke. Not the brightest guy south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Duke leaves a trail of disaster in his wake wherever he goes. His road trip to Starke is no exception and his arrival at the trailer park is full of surprises - even for a group of people who have had their share of excitement...
"The Girls"
BETTY, 38-50 Betty attended high school with Norbert and Jeannie Garstecki and has lived at Armadillo Acres for just as long. She now runs a leasing office and makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through the trailer park. Theough a self-proclaimed "bad-ass," Betty is really a mother hen to the denizens of the treailer park. Of all "The Girls," Betty is the most grounded, earthy and dry.
LENOLEUM "LIN", 30;s So-named because her mother gave birth to her on the kitchen floor. Linoleum has a husband on deathe row at the Florida State Prison. His fate is an electric chair that doesn't work properly unless most of the town's electrilcity is tkurned off. So Lin watches everyone's lights and appliances very closely in the hopes that she can keep the chair on the fritz. Sometimes self-absorbed and sEometimes just a smar-ass, she hints at a wild, rock -an-roll past and is the fieriest of "The Girls."
DONNA "PICKLES", 17 years old. A newlywed, Donna is called "Pickles" because she is perpetually hysterically pregnant - that is , she's so convinced she should be pregnant she's exhibiting symptoms. Her husband is a lot fancier than she is, as he is from the big city of Jacksonville. His parents haven't been very supportive of his marital choice, so Pickles is desperate to give her husband a family of his own - even if she has to fake it. The dimmest of "The Girls, " Pickle is airy, sweet and blissfully ignorant.
