Season 12 Auditions: August 13-16, 2016

The Female Version of The Odd Couple

Picture
Saturday, August 13th at 2 pm auditions for Neil Simon's comedy The Female Version of The Odd Couple
Individuals will be asked to read from the script. 

Tuesday, August 16th @ 7 pm: Call-backs

Audition location:  CHANGED from our normal location:  Rising Star Studio of Dance Arts in DEWITT, 211 S. Bridge Street, downtown DeWitt, right behind Jon E. Arendsen Designs, north of the bridge.

Show Dates* October 14, 15, 21, 22 & 23, 2016 Directed by Lisa Sodman Elzinga

Cast of Characters: 6 Females and 2 Males needed.

Olive Madison - A successful television producer. She is intelligent, attractive, and wisecracking, with a good sense of humor – and she’s a complete slob when it comes to her surroundings. She has an encyclopedic understanding of sports, is a complete pushover for her ex-husband, and a good friend.

Florence (Flo) Unger – is attractive, very well groomed, neat and has just broken up with her husband. She takes herself very seriously, likes to clean, decorate and cook and is very good at all three. Flo is also intelligent warm-hearted (in her own way), and has no sense of humor (at least about herself) - she does NOT make jokes. She can also, without meaning to, make Olive feel guilty.

Sylvie - is desperately trying to stop smoking, and so sucks on lollipops or chews gum. She can get irritated with her friends, but has a good sense of humor, highly energized and a wise-craker especially about her husband. Oh, yes, she is pregnant in the last scene.

Renee - Sylvie's best friend, can be very plain-spoken, especially when she points out Olive's failings as a hostess - and then Flo's. A bit of a complainer. She is single and dating a doctor.

Vera – is very sweet, very nice, somewhat spacey, and, although quite smart, is often a step or two behind her friends. She’s very funny, but doesn't realize it. Vera is married to Harry.

Mickey – is a police officer, who is down-to-earth, plain talking, and has a good understanding of people. Sometimes she can take the "police bit" too far and she tries very hard to be in control of all situations.

Manolo & Jesus Costazuela – (Supporting) brothers, both flight attendants for Iberia Airlines, elegant, well-mannered and extremely polite, meticulously well dressed, good-natured, good laughers, with engaging personalities, both speak with faultless Castilian Spanish accents. Manolo may be a year or two older than Jesus.  He must have good comic timing as he gets very emotional.  He is sensitive and appreciates Florence’s sensitivity.  Showers both Olive and Flo with attention. Jesus may be a little less skilled with English than is his brother and also gets very emotional and truly appreciates Florence. Both are very classy gentlemen.
