Looking for Boys & Girls for "Brighton Beach Memoirs" Show
"Brighton Beach Memoirs" Show seeking teens ages 13-18. See the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Part one of Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states "if you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here." Additional info: To audition, no preparation is necessary. Auditions will use a cold-read format. Those auditioning will be asked to read sides and may read for multiple characters. PERFORMANCE DATES: March 17th - April 2nd. Performances Friday and Saturday nights at 7 pm. Sunday Matinees at 2 pm. If you are interested, please apply.
