OPEN AUDITIONS
Monday and Tuesday, October 2 & 3, 2023
Directed by MAC BELLNER
Buck Creek Playhouse will hold open auditions for MOON OVER THE BREWERY by Bruce Graham, on Monday and Tuesday, October 2 & 3, 2023, at 7 p.m. at the playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Avenue. Call backs possible October 4, 2023, if necessary.
Director Mac Bellner is looking for a diverse and comedic group of 2 female presenting actors and 2 male presenting actors. All roles are available.
Playwright Bruce Graham's story is a coming-of-age tale of conflict between free-spirited single mother, Miriam, a creative sculptor, quilter, and painter whose day job as a waitress means she can paint only at night - moonscapes, and her precocious 13-year-old daughter, Amanda. Miriam, perhaps in keeping with her free spirit and artistically bohemian approach to life, does not manage money well, and Amanda must use her financial intelligence to be sure they make ends meet. Miriam would like to be in a companionable, even romantic, relationship, but Amanda disapproves of any suitors and attempts to run them off before they can get too comfortable. So far, her efforts have been successful. Warren Zimmerman, calm and competent, who happens to be their mail carrier, is Miriam's latest beau and perhaps more determined than others, so becomes Amanda's latest target. Randolph is Amanda's imaginary friend-in-lieu-of-a-father and co-conspirator - the conspiracy being to get rid of all Miriam's potential companions. He takes on characteristics of main characters in whatever book Amanda is reading. Both with and without the help of Warren and Randolph, both Amanda and Miriam must come to terms with the changes in their lives.
