Auditions for "Laughter on the 23rd Floor"

   Here's a note from my pal Mike Murdock about auditions Monday and Tuesday night for the next ARTS show: Laughter on the 23rd Floor:

TOMORROW! (Monday & Tuesday) 7 p.m.! (Both days)

AUDITIONS for Neil Simon's Laughter on the 23rd Floor
It's the final show in the ARTS inaugural season.
It's directed by Mike Murdock.

It's an ensemble, fast-paced, HILARIOUS comedy. Simon's funniest, in my opinion!

We'll be doing cold readings!

I need SIX GUYS for the following roles!

Max Prince (Star of the Max Prince show): Mid-40s to early 50s.
He appears to be taller than he is because he exudes great strength. His strength comes more from his anger than from his physique. He dominates a room with his personality. You must watch him because he's like a truck you can't get out of the way of. He is quixotic, changing quickly from warm, infectious laughter to sullen anger. He is often monosyllabic, offering a word or two to convey his thoughts.

Lucas Brickman (New Writer): early 20s, sincere and sensible.

Milt Fields (Flamboyant): Mid-20s to 40s, Milt is a gag man, a joke-a-minute wholesaler who deals in fast paced patter.

Brian Doyle (Irish American): Mid-20s to mid-40s. A heavy smoker, a heavy cougher and a heavy drinker, but with a biting sense of humor as caustic as his outlook on life.

Kenny Franks (Wiz kid): Late-20s to Mid-30s. Boy genius and the most sophisticated of the writers.

Ira Stone (Hypochondriac): Late 20s to early 40s. A hypochondriac who comes in late every day with a new ailment. His greatest wish in life was to have a virus named after him.

The rest of the info you need is probably in the description of the event! Here it is:

There's never been a better time to be at ARTS! Join us, won't you?

   By the way, I agree with Mike - I think this is Neil Simon's funniest play!
