Auditions will be held Tuesday, March 2nd for the regional premier of “Gee!”—an intimate play with music (plot below). 
 
Director Beth Bruner asks you to bring a one-to-two minute monologue, or join with another auditioner for a two-to-three minute scene.  Those auditioning for Noel and G will also be asked to do sixteen bars of a number from the 20s, 30s, or 40s, and possibly some dance movement.

Auditions are at Holladay City Hall (4580 S 2300 E) from 7 pm until 9 pm.  (Come in the door on the back [west] side).

Roles available are:

G—twenties, an entertainer with lots of talent and a touch star-struck (singer/dancer)
Fanny—fifties, a determined woman who was a pioneer in a male field, sure of herself and a bit of a bulldozer
Noel—fifties, still debonair and a brilliant entertainer, but also a bit tired after so many years in the public eye (singer/dancer)
Richard—fifties, a banker and producer  (MUST be able to do a good slow getting drunk then sober)
Waiter—twenties/thirties, sweet and interested in G

Plot:

Shortly after the 1953 death of famous actress/singer Gertrude Lawrence, her lawyer (Fanny) arranges a meeting at a New York theater bar between herself, Gertie’s husband (Richard), and her oldest friend (Noel Coward).  The bar is empty, because the customers are at Broadway shows.  The pianist and a singer (G) are practicing old show songs.  Fanny recognizes the pianist as Noel and Gertie’s old accompanist.  She asks them to perform Gertie songs during the meeting as she ’s trying to get Noel to write another play, and Richard to come back to actively producing, and she thinks remembering Gertie will encourage them.  Over the course of the evening many numbers are done (Noel joining G after a while), Richard gets drunk, Noel re-enacts Shakespeare performances—and by the end Richard has convinced Fanny to get him out of his theatrical commitments so he can take a diplomatic job, and Noel has had a brilliant idea for a play about an artist with many different periods (Nude with Violin).  G is left forgotten, singing “someday I’ll find you, again. . .”
