The Sidekick Players Club is auditioning for its second production of the season, Maggie's Getting Married, a hilarious comedy by Canada's most prolific playwright, Norm Foster.
Auditions are set for Sunday, Oct. 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. and Monday, Oct. 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Tsawwassen Arts Centre. Callbacks (if necessary) will be on Wednesday, Oct. 30.
The play takes place in the Duncan family's kitchen the night before youngest daughter Maggie Duncan marries smarmy realtor Russell after a whirlwind romance. Maggie's big sister, bombshell Wanda, is home for the big day with her latest boy toy, actor Axel, who mother-ofthe-bride Cass is less than thrilled with.
Father of the bride Tom, a wealthy dentist, is preoccupied with sex and mortality and concerned that his baby girl may be marrying the wrong man for the wrong reasons. As the family and their hangerson get progressively more tipsy following Maggie and Russell's rehearsal dinner, Wanda comes to the sobering realization that she and her sister's fiancé are more than intimately acquainted.
Maggie's Getting Married, directed for Sidekick by Peg Keenleyside, will have 10 performances at the arts centre from Jan. 23 to Feb. 8, 2014.
Auditions will be on a first come, first served basis. There is no remuneration. Send resumes and head shots to [email protected].
Evening and weekend rehearsals begin in late November.
