Fort Salem Theater Announces Auditions
Posted by Gail M. Burns - March 2010
Fort Salem Theater, located in Salem NY, an hour north of Albany, is accepting resumes in anticipation of auditioning in the Capital Region in early April. Under the current management, Equity and non-Equity professionals, from Broadway, off-Broadway, and the Capital Region, and members of the local theater communities share the beautifully-renovated Mainstage.
This year’s locally produced musicals include 110 in the Shade, The Musical of The Rainmaker, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, and an original musical, StarCrossed, A Musical Tale of Tragedy and Triumph in Old Hollywood, by Al Budde and Jay Kerr, starring Laura Roth as a legendary star of forties film musicals, each directed by Wm. John Aupperlee, director of the Fort’s initial offering, A Christmas Carol: A New Musical.
110 – Seeking all roles, except Lizzie:
H.C. Curry – Lizzie’s father, late fifties, powerfully set, capable, with a dream in him.
Noah Curry – Lizzie’s older brother, built like his father, without the imagination. Rigid. Opinionated.
Jimmy Curry – Lizzie’s younger brother. Early twenties, big. He’s not sure that he’s very bright. He may be right.
Bill Starbuck – A loud braggart, lithe, agile. A gentle dreamer. The rainmaker.
File – The sheriff. Reticent, intelligent, in his late thirties. Smiles at the world and himself.
Snookie Updegraff – Perhaps seventeen. Described by authors as “pretty, and pretty, and pretty, and pretty. Which is to say she is pretty.”
StarCrossed – Seeking the following roles:
Slice Magnuson – a retired detective who investigates the seamy side of Hollywood. He’s a busy man. Late forties on.
Rick Taylor – An agent who once handled the late, legendary Julie Martin and looks for any angle to bring back the prestige and money. Early forties.
Jack Curran – A retired one-time matinee idol, triple-threat, who romanced Julie Martin.
