Upcoming Auditions: The Play That Goes Wrong
An ill-fated theater company strives to produce an ambitious murder mystery play, but with disaster after disaster, will the cast even make it to the final curtain?
In The Play That Goes Wrong props disappear, actors go missing, and the set begins to collapse… But the show must go on! This mayhem makes for a physical show, and a show where performers will have to almost constantly be doing two things at the same time.
Director Mike Eserkaln is very excited, and a little daunted, to bring The Play That Goes Wrong to the ASPI stage. This will be the largest production in terms of cast and over-all production that he has ever directed! But if we’re not challenging ourselves to new things, what are we even doing here, right?!
Auditions will take place on January 28th and 29th from 6pm-8pm at the Nancy Byng Community Theater in Abrams (you only need to attend one of those dates).
Performers should be comfortable with a variety of stage pratfalls and stage combat safety expectations. Don’t worry, we won’t be doing “combat” necessarily, but the ability and knowledge of how to do things safely is going to be very important. The director is looking for people that not only fit the roles best, but also listen well and take direction that’s thrown at them in the moment.
For this type of show, Mike Eserkaln offers this advice: Be willing, even excited, to look and act like a fool up on stage!
