Love Street Playhouse opens auditions for ‘Moon Over Buffalo’

Posted

Auditions for Love Street Playhouse’s upcoming performance of “Moon Over Buffalo” will open at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 3, at Love Street Playhouse, 126 Loves Ave., Woodland.

Play performance dates will run from April 25 to May 18. Exact performance times will be announced at a later date, a press release by Love Street Playhouse stated.

“Moon Over Buffalo,” written by Ken Ludwig, is a comic play set in Buffalo, New York, in 1953. The story centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. On the brink of a disastrous split-up, caused by George’s dalliance with a young woman, the couple receive word of one last opportunity at stardom. Director Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee. If Capra likes what he sees, they may be cast in his movie remake of “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” Plans go awry before the play as George and Charlotte Hay grasp for fame, the press release stated.

Love Street Playhouse is casting for eight roles. Roles are available for actors 20 years of age and older, the press release stated.



Auditioners should bring a headshot photo — nonprofessional is fine — a personal calendar and an optional theater resume to the auditions. Participants will need to fill out an information sheet before performing a reading from the play script, the release stated.

Auditions will include cold readings from the script. No monologues are required. People should arrive a few minutes before 6:30 p.m. to fill out an informational sheet, the press release stated. Auditioners are encouraged to practice before arriving.

Love Street Playhouse was founded in 2007 with the vision of having a community theater where the “participation by and for the community of Woodland, Washington, would help create a cultural space to learn and grow,” according to the theater’s website.
