Open Auditions for “Christmas Belles” and “Dracula” — Day 2
August 20, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Brush Creek is holding Open Auditions for not one, but TWO GREAT SHOWS — “DRACULA” and “CHRISTMAS BELLES” — at 6 pm, Monday, August 19, and 6 pm, Tuesday, August 20 — at Brush Creek Playhouse (11535 Silverton Rd, Silverton)
Brush Creek will be looking to cast the final two shows of the 2019 season with these open auditions. Interested actors — and would-be actors — are welcome to audition for either, or both productions.
The script for Brush Creek’s “Dracula” is the classic play, written by John L. Balderston, Hamilton Deane, and Bram Stoker (the author of the classic novel on which it is based). Norman Gouveia will be directing.
In the story, Lucy Seward, whose father is the doctor in charge of an English sanatorium, has been attacked by some mysterious illness. Dr. Van Helsing, a specialist, believes that the girl is the victim of a vampire, a sort of ghost that goes about at night sucking blood from its victims. The vampire is at last found to be a certain Count Dracula, whose ghost is finally laid to rest in a striking and novel manner. The play is intended for all who love thrills in the theater, and is appropriate for all groups.
The show itself will run Friday, Oct 18 thru Sunday, Nov 3, with a special Halloween performance as part of the production.
Norman can be reached at Norman@msnproperties.com.
The same two evenings, Brush Creek will also be holding open auditions for “Christmas Belles,” written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten. Brush Creek audiences have been delighted by Jones-Hope-Wooten comedies before, and this offering — directed by Franca Hernandez — promises a holiday basket full of laughs.
A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. There are parts for 7 women and 4 men. Most characters are between ages 40/50 with two in their 20s. If you have questions, please contact the director Franca Hernandez at francahernandez@hotmail.com. Let her know if you’d like a copy of the script and she will arrange to get one to you.
