Auditions start tomorrow for Rupert Holmes’ ACCOMPLICE
Directed by Megan Finlay

ACCOMPLICE is a clever, fast-paced murder mystery filled with twists, deception, and characters who may not be exactly who they seem. This production will be fast-paced and physical, and will focus on telling the story in a clear and visceral manner. All four roles are great opportunities to shine through the split-second switching between characters, and we are seeking physical and technical performers.

Auditions: October 12 and 13, 6:30 - 9:30 pm.
Callbacks: October 18, 2- 6 p.m. All at Masquers Theatre.

UP NEXT
Masquers Playhouse and Curtain Theatre present
an Envision Series staged reading of
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
By William Shakespeare
Adapted and directed by Lindsey Abbott

3 performances only!
October 9-11
For tickets, go to the link in our bio.

Set in a reimagined Elizabethan era, this production of The Taming of the Shrew flips the script—in this world, society is a matriarchy, and courtship is very much a woman’s game. Baptista Minola has a plan: marry off her eldest son to the highest bidder (whether he likes it or not). What follows is a whirlwind of schemes, swagger, and outrageous negotiations.

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE
By Christopher Durang
Directed by Shay Oglesby-Smith
Closing September 27

Siblings Vanya and Sonia spend their days sipping coffee and watching the world go by. Their mundane life unravels when their movie-star sister, Masha, sweeps in with her twenty-something boyfriend, Spike, threatening to sell the family home. With the addition of a fortune-telling housekeeper with a voodoo doll and an overenthusiastic aspiring actress, the weekend festivities become utter chaos.

Whether you're a devout fan of Chekhov or just in need of a really good laugh, this cast is guaranteed to deliver pure comedic bliss.

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at Masquers Playhouse delivers a fun and memorable night at the theater. Durang’s play is in good hands and will soon have a following of new fans. While we will enjoy the show for its comedy and funny characters, we will remember it for its messages about life. We are all in the driver’s seat of our own lives, and there is so much possibility even in mid-life and beyond. The technological advances of the modern age may be here to stay, but they do not reduce the value or replace human connection.
