Right on the heels of the opening of the Sidekick Players Club's Twelve Angry Men comes auditions for The Melville Boys.
The local theatre group's production of the Norm Foster play is being directed by Taryn Kleeband and produced by Carroll Allan, which has Kleeband looking for four really good ensemble actors.
"The Melville Boys is a typical Norm Foster script," says Allan, "with pathos, warmth and lots of humour."
The club produces at least one Canadian script per season and The Melville Boys is the first of two, both written by Foster, Canada's most prolific playwright.
Owen and Lee Melville arrive at a lakeside cabin for a weekend of fishing, but their plans are thrown out of whack by the arrival of two sisters who become catalysts for a tenderly funny and unsentimental look at four lives in transition.
The Melville Boys will be in the Tsawwassen Arts Centre from Jan. 12 to 28, 2012.
Audition dates are Sunday, Oct. 23 (noon to 2 p.m.) and Tuesday, Oct. 25 (7 to 9 p.m.) at the Sidekick rehearsal hall in the Tsawwassen Arts Centre.
The cast requires two males and two females, all in their 30s and 40s.
Auditions, which will include a cold read from the script, are on a first come, first served basis. There will be no appointments. It is a non-equity production.
