MBS PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR
THE BEULAVILLE BAPTIST BOOK CLUB PRESENTS:
A BUR-LES-Q NUTCRACKER!
Auditions will be October 18 from noon till 6 PM. Dance auditions will commence at noon, acting auditions will begin at 2 PM. Rehearsals begin November 1. The show runs November 28 through December 21.
Acting roles available:
Sylvia – The head of the Book Club. She is intolerant, opinionated, moralistic, and hypocritical and can’t understand why the world won’t see things her way because, as she well knows, she is right about everything! Basically a bitch on heels. She has a very shady past that she doesn’t want anyone to know about. 30-50 age range.
Ramona – A very good-hearted Christian woman that is surprisingly liberal. In fact, she is so liberal she surprises herself at times (and everyone else!). Her idea of style is holiday themed sweaters – all year round. She always tries to make everyone happy even when she is annoying the crap out of everyone.
Wilma – The matriarch of the group and someone that is fond of wigs. She is either in a catatonic state when her meds are off or a hurricane of a lady. Even though she’s in her 80’s though her expensive face lift makes her look like she’s much younger. She can also be a bit blue in her language when she gets going and calls it as she sees it. This role can be played by any actress between the ages of 20-60
Madge: this role is being reprised by the original cast member
Dickey: this role is being reprised by the original cast member.
Dancer roles available (age 20’s to 30’s):
Jana: The no nonsense artistic director of the Velvet Kittens. She is the only “sane” person in this entire cast and proceeds to make commentary about the all the kooky people she is dealing with. She is ascerbic, at times sarcastic, and exceedingly funny. This role requires as much acting as dancing and the dancer/actress must be able to attend both the dance and the acting auditions.
Jessica: A morally upstanding “nice girl” till the music starts, then she is vampy, sexy, and a bit trashy.
Jill: Dumb, dumb dumb, dumb, and also sweet. She becomes Dickey’s love interest.
Jenny: a very spirited dancer with a foul mouth. Think cheerleader who drops f-bombs.
Jocelyn: A va-va-voom girl who could care less about rehearsals since she knows she has “it”.
Jacqui: shy and quiet, in fact so shy she never speaks audibly, yet when she dances her body and movements say volumes, loud volumes
Jolene: A girl from the sticks who is plain and sweet but always horny.
Petrushka: This role is being reprised by the original cast member.
