Eunice Players’ Theatre is looking for a few good men...and a woman for our upcoming comedy, "Beer for Breakfast" by Sean Grennan directed by Josh Faulkner and Gabrielle Reed.
The story starts when a group of middle-aged buddies reunite for a “guys’ weekend” at their favorite cabin retreat. The snow is falling, chili is on the stove, beer is in the fridge, and the memories start flowing as they relive the good old days. Despite divorce, unemployment, and a stroke, these men are in high spirits. That is until Jessie, the wife of absent friend Adrian, shows up in his place. Trapped together in a cabin by what is now a blizzard, the dynamic shifts entirely and a hilarious battle of the sexes ensues. It's pretty epic and Jessie matches the men wit-for-wit in a series of drinking games and challenges, leading to a night of truth-or-dare where old secrets and grudges are brought to light.
Roles Available: (Age are flexible. Must be 18+ to audition.)
TJ (Male, 40s-50s)– The Alpha of the group. At times bigger than life, boisterous, the ringleader. The guys may chide him but they love and need him for it. Professionally, TJ is the creative head of an ad agency. He’s very good at what he does but like everyone in any creative endeavor, is thought (wrongly!) to be losing it as he ages. This is because the only true genius in the world resides in those under 30 years old and everyone knows that. Therefore he’s under pressure from his board of directors to step down. He drinks a lot but always seems to be in control. Divorced, he takes a dim view of relationships these days. He particularly hates Jessie, as it becomes clear that they had a relationship back when that ended poorly. He’s here to recapture that youthful thing he and his buddies had… and to forget his age and the outside world for a weekend.
MARK (Male, 40s-50s) – A nice guy who means well and loves his friends even though he borders on a sad sack at times. He’s a professional writer who has recently been let go from his newspaper and is surviving (barely) on a smattering of freelance assignments. Happily married but nervous about his life, he, like the other men, is here this weekend to forget his troubles and try to have some fun. He’s also here to see if the very successful Adrian can help him get a job. He is like a “middle child” facilitator in that he tries to keep things smooth and will go along to get along. He loves his friends.
RICHARD (Male, 40s-50s) – A very nice guy who up until recently was a vice president at his company, deacon at church, learned French, took cooking classes and more – until he was hit with a stroke. The right side of his face and body are affected the most. His right arm stays mostly in an “L” position; the hand is closed, his face droops on that side, his speech is affected. While barely intelligible generally, when he talks, he has particular trouble with the “s” sound, making a “th” instead. He often needs translation from his buddy Mark. While the translation is a source of comedy, Richard himself isn’t. He’s one of the guys this weekend and after an initial brief trepidation, he will act and be treated as such.
JESSIE (Female, 40s-50s) – Strong, smart, quick, a bit sarcastic, she can give as good as she gets and then some. A doctor and mother, she’s used to being right and in charge. She is most often both. She dresses well and tries to maintain a calm and superior air. She is the beloved but absent Adrian's wife. She and TJ were briefly a thing in college but are so very different now that it seems absurd. She is at the cabin this weekend to do a tough chore and despite her strength, avoids doing it until her back is against the wall. Despite her occasional snarkiness, the audience should like her.
If you’ve ever wanted to step onto the stage—or it’s been a while since your last audition—this is the perfect opportunity. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or trying community theatre for the first time, we’d love to see you!
Come join the fun, meet new people, and help bring this hilarious comedy to life. We can’t wait to see what you bring to the stage!
