Office HoursAuditions for ETC's first show of the 2008-9 Season! May 5 and 6 @ 7 pm at the theatre "Office Hours" By Norm Foster Directed by Sue Jennings
The Story: "Office Hours" is a series of individual sketches that take place in various offices in a big city on Friday afternoon. Each sketch works independently from the others but they all loosely link together through various props and gags. It's a funny, quick moving, rather satirical play. Strong comedic timing is essential to the play's success.
Casting Reguirements: Flexible but approx. 10 actors needed: 5 women and 5 men. The Director is looking for a variety of ages from 20's to 60's with creativity, flexivility and willingness to work hard and have fun! Some actors will be required to play more then one role. No experience necessary, new faces are always welcome at ETC!
Audition Format: Reading from the script and some improvisation.
Show Dates: Sept. 10 - 21/08
Rehearsals: Tuesday and Thursdaay evening through May and June, taking a break in July and re-starting following the August long weekend, again only rehearsing on Tues. and Thurs. nights, (no weekends!) Due to the sketch-like nature of the play, not alll actors will be required at all rehearsals. There's lots of room for flexibility and working around vacation schedules.
Crew Requirements: Anyone interested in working backstage on this show should also attend one of the audition dates and let SM Rose Hoy know what you're interested in. No experience necessary. Sound, lights, props, set construction and decor - we will train you for the job! Learn a new skill and have a great time doing it! WODLW.O.D.L. AWARDS GALORE!!

The Story: While the rehearsal party takes place in the living room, Maggie’s family copes with the night before wedding jitters in the kitchen. Maggie is nervous, her fiancée is missing, Dad is feeling sentimental about losing his little girl,
Mom is feeling pressured to have everything go perfectly, the sister’s boyfriend is trying to sneak a smoke on the back deck and the sister is trying to figure out whether or not she’s slept with the groom before.
Ages quite flexible. Listed are script descriptions but director Mike Grant says he can swing 5 plus years up or down depending on who comes to auditions.
Maggie; 29. The bride. She is getting married tomorrow. She is sweet, smart and slightly insecure.
Wanda: 32. Maggie’s older sister. She sells real estate and has much more experience with men than her sister.
Cass: early 50’s. Maggie’s mother is a no-nonsense woman, determined to make this night perfect for everyone.
Tom: 56. Maggie’s deadpan father who works as a dentist but has bigger dreams. He is going through a midlife crisis.
Axel: 37. Wanda’s latest boyfriend. He’s a wacked out actor with a real fear of women.
Russell: 35. The groom. Also in real estate. Somewhat of a social misfit as he tries too hard to make people like him.
