from the Friends of the Chappaqua Library
Seeking Experienced Actors for AUDITIONS for a staged reading of a new comedy, THE CUPCAKE CONSPIRACY, by C.J. Ehrlich and Philip J. Kaplan. The play will be presented on Saturday, March 3rd at the Chappaqua Library Theatre—all proceeds to benefit Friends of the Chappaqua Library.
The play will be performed on book, with some blocking.
Auditions will be held Thursday, Feb 2, 6-8 pm, and Sunday, Feb 5, 3:30-5:30 pm, at the Chappaqua Library Theatre.
THE CUPCAKE CONSPIRACY:
“Terrorism is easy. Marriage is complicated.” When a not-quite ex-husband goes on a blind date behind his wife’s back, he finds himself up to his neck in a terrorist plot involving cupcakes - delicious, evil cupcakes. It may be the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to him, if he can keep his wife out of it!
Seeking:
MAX (20s-40), a nervous air traffic controller who steps outside his comfort zone and finds himself way over his head
NATASHA (20s), a Silesian terrorist, beautiful but deadly, exotic yet vulnerable (part is performed with some sort of Eastern European accent)
ALVIN (20-30), a man of many identities. Must have facility with dialects and be able to radically change character on a dime.
SUZIE (20s-30s), a hedge fund analyst; bold, commanding, yet insecure
Actors must be experienced, and available for two to three rehearsals, with performances Saturday, Feb 25th, 2 pm (New Rochelle), and Saturday, March 3rd, 7 pm (Chappaqua). Travel expenses can be reimbursed.
Audition location: the Chappaqua Library Theatre, 195 South Greeley Avenue, Chappaqua, NY.
