SUMMARY:Deathtrap Auditions
DESCRIPTION:Open auditions for the first show of Altoona Community Theatre’s 2021-2022 season! \n“Deathtrap” by Ira Levin\, is a sharply worded who-will-do-it murder mystery that keeps the audience guessing until the last scene. Directed by Tara Enedy \nAuditions will be at the ACT Rehearsal Hall. \nDeathtrap rehearsals will begin Monday August 2nd and the show performs at the Historic Mishler Theatre September 16-19th. \n*If needed\, callbacks will be held on July 28th at 6pm. \nRoles to be cast:\nSidney Bruhl – male\, 40-65 years old\nMyra Bruhl – his wife\, 35-60 years old\nClifford Anderson – male\, 30-45 years old\nHelga ten Dorp – female\, ageless psychic with a Dutch dialect\nPorter Milgrim – male\, 55-75 years old \n\nAnyone auditioning for the show should be aware that the script contains some adult content and all roles include stage combat\, particularly Sidney\, Myra and Clifford.

Prepare to have some fun and think on your feet. \n\n“The play is known as one of the biggest hits on Broadway\, running for four years with almost 1800 performances. The preface to the published script describes it as “something so evil that it infects all who touch it. The thing has a life of its own. In Deathtrap\, Levin has taken the basic components of thrillers and horror stories; murder\, deceit\, innocent dialogue with hidden sinister meanings\, plot reversals\, unexpected turns of events\, etc.\, and twisted and rearranged the pieces again and again.”

Adults will be seen from 7-9 pm. Please prepare 16 to 32 bars of a Broadway standard. Accompanist provided. Please provide music in the appropriate key. If you prefer not to prepare a song in advance\, one will be taught at auditions. All should dress comfortably and bring appropriate shoes for a simple dance audition. \nCharacter breakdowns are below. All roles are open. Ages are just a guideline\, not definitive. Roles will be cast relative to the ensemble chosen. Ages may fluctuate in accordance. \n\nMomma Rose (ages from 35 – 50) The ultimate stage mother. Lives her life vicariously through her two daughters\, whom she’s put into show business. She is loud\, brash\, pushy and single-minded\, but at times can be doting and charming. She is holding down demons of her own that she is afraid to face. Her voice is the ultimate powerful Broadway belt. Minimal dance but must move well. Comic timing a must. Strong Mezzo/Alto with good low notes and belt.\nBaby June (about 10) is a Shirley Temple-like up-and-coming vaudeville star\, and Madam Rose’s youngest daughter. Her onstage demeanor is sugary-sweet\, cute\, precocious and adorable to the nth degree. Must be no taller than 3′\, 5″. An adorable character – Mama Rose’s shining star. Strong child singer\, strong dancer and taps. Mezzo.\nYoung Louise (about 12) She should look a couple years older than Baby June. She is Madam Rose’s brow-beaten oldest daughter\, and has always played second fiddle to her baby sister. She is shy\, awkward\, a little sad and subdued; she doesn’t have the confidence of her sister. Strong acting skills needed. The character always dances slightly out of step but the actress playing this part must be able to dance. Mezzo singer.\nHerbie (about 45) agent for Rose’s children and Rose’s boyfriend and a possible husband number 4. He has a heart of gold but also has the power to defend the people he loves with strength. Minimum dance. A Baritone\, sings in one group number\, two duets and trio with Rose and Louise. Strong acting role.\nDainty June (16-24) Baby June as a young teenager. The older she gets\, the less she enjoys being her mother’s trained monkey. Strong Alto\, must be able to belt a song and have decent dancing skills. The ability to do the splits and twirl a baton a big plus\, but not a requirement. Must dance very well\, taps\, strong Broadway teen singer\, close harmony skills preferred.\nLouise/Gypsy Rose Lee (18 – 25) Baby Louise as a teenager\, who grows up to be Gypsy Rose Lee. Still pushed aside by Madam Rose in favor of June\, until she herself becomes her mother’s new pet project. Should be able to move well. Minimum actual dance but must have very strong movement skills\, strong acting skills needed. Must be able to portray both the awkward teen and a sophisticated woman we know now as Gypsy Rose Lee. Must dance inside a dancing cow costume\, must be comfortable with the character’s profession – stripping. The character is very scantily clad but never actual appears in the nude. Mezzo (needs light sound for “little Lamb” and belt for “Let Me Entertain You.”\nDressy Tessie Tura (20s-40s) a stripper just past her prime. Big Broadway voice (Mezzo Belt)\, strong movement/dance\, ballet training helpful. A burlesque dancer that shares her dressing room with Louise. She was once a ballerina and still has some of the moves. A course broad who’s been around the block. Very funny.\nMazeppa (20s-40s) a stripper just past her prime. Big Broadway voice (Alto Belt)\, strong movement/dance\, powerful character. A burlesque dancer who’s tough and physically intimidating. Trumpet playing skills would be outstanding but not required.\nElectra (20s-40s) a stripper just past her prime. Big Broadway voice (Mezzo Belt)\, strong movement/dance. Quieter than her counterparts but her costume is wired with lights\, allowing her to “shine” without working up a sweat. Ditzy and sweet.\nCratchitt (any age over 20) the production assistant for the Grantzinger theater\, N.Y.C. The comedic role.\nChildren’s Ensemble (ages 10 -12) Two or three young boys and one young girl. Baby June’s back up dancers and singers. Ability of one child to play accordion or clarinet a plus. Must sing and dance.\nYoung Women’s Ensemble (ages 20 – 30) singer/dancers who act as both the back up dancers for Louise/Gypsy Rose Lee and perform in the large burlesque numbers in the second act. Strong dancers. Some comic skills very helpful. Very minimal singing. A few have minor expanded roles.\nAgnes (20-30) one of the women’s dancing chorus\, strong comic skills required.\nYoung Men’s Ensemble (ages 16 -20) Six young men sing and dance backup for teenage June\, plus join in the number “Have an Eggroll\, Mr. Goldstone.” Should be strong singers and dancers. Will double as small parts in Act I and Act II\, plus some backup dancing in Gypsy’s strip routine. Must be very strong dancers and singers. Comic time preferred.\nTulsa (age 17 – 20) Boy-next-door type. Strives to break out of the troupe with an act of his own. Sings and dances “All I Need Is the Girl.” Extremely strong dancer in all styles of show dance including tap. Good singer\, charming\, very athletic and handsome young man. High Baritone.\nKringelin (adult male character over 35) the put upon manager of a hotel.\nMr. Goldstone (any age over 30) Booking agent for the Orpheum Theater Circuit. Chaplin-like skills a must never speaks.\nCigar (adult male\, age 30-50) rather aggressive owner of a burlesque theatre\, Classic character part.\nPastey (any age) Cigar’s stage manager.\nChowsie A small dog (with a good temperament).\n\n“Gypsy” tells the story of the dreams and determination of Mama Rose\, the quintessential Stage Mother\, a hungry powerhouse of a woman who will stop at nothing to see her daughters become famous\, leading one of them into a career as cabaret legend\, Gypsy Rose Lee. The musical recounts the saga of the “stage gypsies” traveling the nationwide circuit of vaudeville theatres (just like the Mishler). Offering up rousing numbers like “Everything’s Coming Up Roses\,” “Let Me Entertain You\,” and “You Gotta Get a Gimmick\,” it’s a clever\, funny\, and provocative story that’s strikingly relevant more than 60 years after it premiered. \nQuestions?
