Mid way through this month there are a couple of shows looking to cast for the upcoming season.
First off, Pink Banana Theatre has announced its show this Novemberthey will be doing a production of Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone. On the whole Ruhl’s stuff is pretty forgettable, but this play looks uncharacteristically promising. The idea is that a woman is in a quiet café when a stranger at the next table seems too inert to answer a pesky ringing cell phone. She does so out of frustration, only to find that she has just answered . . . a dead man’s cell phone. Things get kind of complicated from there. Could be an interesting comedy in an intimate Pink Banana show, which runs November 3rd – 12th at Next Act’s new space.
Pink Banana will be holding auditions for the show Saturday July 16th and Sunday the 17th at the 10th Street Theatre. The auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, but there will be time for short, prepared monologues of no more than 1.5 mnutes.
More information is available at the sign-up website.
(The sign-p website is kind of new to me . . . couldn’t help but notice that when I scrolled down I saw actual names of which actors auditioning when. Wasn’t quite expecting that to be open information. When I inadvertently scrolled down to the audition slot listings, three names immediately popped out at me from the rest of them. This could be a VERY god show depending on how auditions go . . . )
