TUCK EVERLASTING
March 4 - 12, 2022
|
|
|
|
By Claudia
Shear, Chris Miller, Nathan Tysen, Tim Federle
Directed by Jeffrey Fiorello. Produced by Bob Denmark.
What
would you do if you had all eternity?
Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond
her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly
entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have
imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending
youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do
anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds,
Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life or continue
with the Tucks on their infinite journey.
Based on best-selling children’s classic by Natalie Babbitt and
adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck
Everlasting features a soaring score from Chris Miller and Nathan
Tysen.
WINNER!
2015 Suzi Bass Award for Outstanding Musical Production
CRITIC'S
PICK! "Tuck startles with its emotional
resonance and theatrical force! A warm-spirited and piercingly
touching musical!" - The New York Times

CALENDAR GIRLS AUDITIONS
March 6 & 7
|
|
|
|
The
Chatham Players will hold auditions for Tim Firth’s play, Calendar Girls on Sunday,
March 6th, and Monday, March 7th, from 7pm – 9:30pm.
All auditions will occur at The Chatham Playhouse, 23 North Passaic Ave.
Production dates are May 6 thru 21, 2022 with rehearsals to begin
mid-March. Joseph Porter directs.
The
play follows six middle-aged women in a rural Yorkshire chapter of
the Women's Institute, an organization whose members plan community
outreach events. After one of its members loses her husband to
cancer, the group decides to raise money in the husband's name
through unconventional means: producing an annual WI chapter calendar
that features its members in the buff. As the calendar becomes an
international sensation, the women's relationships are tested and
their personal lives transformed, whether through gaining the
confidence to stand up for themselves, the courage to acknowledge
personal loss, or the hope to imagine a future a bit less isolated
than the present.
Director
Joseph Porter seeks 10 women (ages 25 and up) and 4 men (ages
25-60). He asks that you are familiar with the play and to be
prepared to read from sides, which will be found on Chatham Players’ website and will be
available at the audition. As far as accents, the women of
the real calendar came from many parts of the country. Actors
should resist the pressure to perform any kind of Yorkshire accent.
Comfortable attire recommended.
Please visit our Calendar Girls Audition page for
character breakdowns and audition sides. The Chatham Players have an
open call casting policy. ALL roles are open, none are precast, and
everyone is encouraged to audition. Any questions, please call email Casting@ChathamPlayers.org.
