The Watertown Players are pleased to announce auditions for Rumors written by Neil Simon. The show is being produced in partnership with Concord Theatricals and will be performed at The Watertown Players Theater, 210 S Water St (in the Market), Watertown, on September 19-20, and September 26-28. The show is being directed by Jennie Ortega and produced by Juanita Edington. Any questions regarding the audition or the show itself should be emailed to Ortega at jennie.ortega65@gmail.com.

 

Auditions will be held at the theater on Saturday, July 26, from 9:00-11:00 am, and it is preferred that auditioners arrive at 8:45 and stay until dismissed. No prior acting experience is required. No special preparation is required and auditioners will be asked to read from the script. To sign up for auditions, please go to https://signup.com/go/CokhXOo. Sign-up for auditions is not required, and walk-ins are encouraged! If you are unable to audition on July 26, please contact Ortega at the above email address to arrange a date and time before July 26.

 

There are roles for ten adults—5 females and 5 males—ranging in age from 30-60. The ages are a guideline and will in no way influence decisions for the right people for the roles.  Rehearsals will be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings at the theater. 

 

Rumors is a classic farce written by the legendary Neil Simon. The show is set in a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden's Landing, NY, townhouse, where the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it's only a flesh wound, Charley Brock's self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce. As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charley lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

There is always something happening at the theater! Auditions for the Youth Theater radio production of You Can’t Take It With You are July 12 from 10 am – noon and performances will be August 15-17. The Watertown Players is Watertown’s oldest theatre group and is proud to be a non-profit organization existing purely for the advancement of the arts in this and surrounding communities.
