MANSFIELD: Un-Common Young Adult's Group announces Auditions for SWEENEY TODD - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.  The rare instance of a musical thriller, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s chilling, suspenseful, heart-pounding masterpiece of murderous barber-ism and culinary crime tells the infamous tale of the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who framed him and ravaged his young wife. His thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and the resourceful proprietress of the pie shop downstairs soon has the people of London lining up in droves with her mysterious new meat pie recipe! Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, “Sweeney Todd” nevertheless has a great sense of fun, mixing intense drama with howlingly funny moments of dark humor: audiences find themselves laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next.  Recently revived on Broadway and the subject of a new movie staring Johnny Depp, this show has rarely been performed in the past, partly due to Mr. Sondheim's complicated and brilliant musical score. The Moss hart Award wining directorial team of Christa Crewdson (Director) and Chris Charig (Musical Director) are excited to take on this task and are looking forward to meeting many hopeful auditioners.  Auditions will be held Monday May 12th, 2008 by appointment only.  For Audition Details first go to www.uncommontheatre.org  then call or email for an audition appointment.

NEW BEDFORD: Auditions for Your Theatre, Inc.’s production of Dylan Thomas’s play for voices Under Milk Wood, scheduled to be staged October 16 - 19, will be held Wednesday, June 4. Anyone interested in auditioning, should arrive at The Playhouse 136 Rivet St. (corner of County St.), New Bedford, at 7:30 PM.  Under Milk Wood, Dylan Thomas’ most famous and enduring work was first performed by six actors in New York in May 1953 with Thomas himself reading the First Voice. Originally intended for radio – it was broadcast with Richard Burton in January 1954 – it has delighted theatre audiences for more than half a century.  Funny, bawdy, sad and sensual, it captures twenty-four hours in the lives – and dreams – of the inhabitants of Llareggub ("bugger all" spelt backwards), an imaginary, small seaside town in south Wales. An all-seeing narrator invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of this imaginary small Welsh village.  They include Mrs. Ogmore-Pritchard, relentlessly bossing her two dead husbands; Captain Cat, reliving his seafaring times; the two Mrs. Dai Breads; Organ Morgan, obsessed with his music; and Polly Garter, pining for her dead lover. Later, the town wakes and, aware now of how their feelings affect whatever they do, we watch them go about their daily business.  Director Robin Richard needs people with good vocal skills capable of portraying characters ranging in age from late teens to eighty years of age. Mr. Richard added “I plan to use 5 men and 4 women. One man will be First Voice and the other 8 actors will play 4 or 5 characters. Voices are most important in that of all actors must breath life into each of their 5 characters using their voice only.”  The play will be presented as a recreation of the BBC Radio Broadcast of 1954. The stage will be set as a radio studio and the actors will read from scripts.  For additional information, call YTI at 508-993 0772, or e-mail ytinc@verizon.net

WAYLAND: Born Yesterday - May 18 & 19.  Vokes Players Auditions will be held Sunday, May 18th 6:00-9:00 pm, and Monday, May 19th from 7:00-10:00 pm.  Born Yesterday is a romantic comedy with a political undercurrent that still hits home sixty years later. It sparkles with wit and intelligence without feeling the least bit dated. It centers on the love triangle of Billie Dawn, Harry Brock and Paul Verrall. Billie and Harry have been living together for nearly ten years (and this is 1946!), and have developed a relationship based on specific roles. Their life together gets knocked around once they come to Washington, where Harry is trying to score some key legislation for his junk business. His legal front-man is Ed Devery, who brings Senator Hedges in on the deal. After an evening with the Hedges, Harry realizes that Billie is really out-to-sea in this environment. So he brings in Paul to teach Billie so Harry won’t be embarrassed with her at social events. Paul, though, is onto what Harry is doing there. He takes the job with Billie to stay close to what Harry is up to. But, once he gets to know Billie.  Contact Pamela at pmayne@nortel.com for more information or visit www.vokesplayers.org.
