Auditions for "Noises Off!"

My pal Stephanie Kay Sands sends along this info about the upcoming auditions for one of the funniest stage shows ever:

The City of Huntington Foundation and 5th Ave. Theatre Company Present: Noises Off!

Auditions for the play Noises Off! will be held on Saturday, July 30 at 1 p.m. in the Jean Carlo Stephenson Auditorium at Huntington City Hall. The theatre is located on the second floor at City Hall on 5th Avenue in Huntington.

Auditions will be a series of cold readings from the script and will begin promptly at 1 p.m. and will last about 3 hours. Roles are available for 5 men and 4 women, ages range from 18 – 60. Headshots and resumes are welcomed, but not required.

Noises Off is a slapstick comedy farce about the goings-on backstage (and sometimes onstage) of a theatre group performing a bawdy comedy called “Nothing On." There are 3 acts of Noises Off, and each act contains a slightly varied version of the first act of “Nothing On.” The play focuses on the comedy of a love-triangle between the director and two of his lead actresses, as well as everything bad that can happen during the run of a show, whether it be missed entrances, wrong lines or wardrobe malfunctions.

Noises Off! will take the stage Sept. 9-11 and Sept. 16-18. On Fridays and Saturdays the show starts at 8 p.m., on Sundays it starts at 2 p.m.
