AUDITION NOTICE – Huguenot United Methodist Church Drama Guild

The Old Faith, Hope & Charity

by Pat Cook

Country doctor and charming curmudgeon, Dr. Peter Farraday, prepares for a two-week “vacation” and the search is on for his replacement. Eager to be needed, Dr. Lorraine Marcus, a young physician fresh out of medical school, seems to fit the bill. Thus begins a warmhearted and grand collision of old and new ways – hilarious misunderstandings, an eccentric assortment of small-town patients, and a touch of sentimentality.

Director Mariana Hess seeks 10 actors (five male, five female).  Please see casting breakdown below.

About Take Me Out:

Acclaimed playwright Richard Greenberg’s play is a deeply funny, provocative take on America’s favorite pastime. The boys in the locker room of the fictional baseball team, “The Empires,” will never be the same when a young athlete at the top of his game reveals a personal truth. Ballplayer Darren Lemming calls a press conference that results in the shocking announcement that he is gay, and Take Me Out chronicles the fall-out from Lemming’s action as it spreads through the team, the media and across the nation. Winner of the 2003 Tony Award for Best New Play, this fascinating piece is an American tale infused with a genuine passion for the game.

Take Me Out will open on Wednesday May 5 and run Thursday – Saturday evenings at 8 pm through May 29, 2010, with two Sunday matinees on May 16 and 23 at 4 pm.  Rehearsals are held in the evenings and weekends and will begin following casting.

All performances will be held at Richmond Triangle Players new theater at 1300 Altamont Avenue.
