Actors wanted for LTCC production of "Leading Ladies"

The Theatre Arts Department at Lake Tahoe Community College is seeking men and women of various ages and types for their upcoming production of the hilarious comedy Leading Ladies by Ken Ludwig.

Auditions are Tuesday, September 23 at 7 p.m. in the LTCC Duke Theatre. Performances will be held November 14-23, 2014.

In this hysterical farce by the author of Lend Me A Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, the year is 1958 and two British Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania! When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long-lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. Comedy ensues when they learn that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Even more laughs abound when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister.

Auditions will consist of readings from the play. Actors are encouraged to read the script before auditioning. Scripts are available on reserve in the LTCC Library. Audition information and character breakdowns can be found on the Theatre Department auditions webpage (http://ltcc.edu/web/community/auditions1/)and on the Theatre Department’s Facebook page (LTCCTheatreArts). Opportunities for Light and Sound Board Operators, Stage Manager, Backstage Crew, and Construction Crew are also available.
