Upcoming Auditions for Adults
12 Incompetent Jurors
By Ian McWethy
Synopsis: When a man is accused of abducting half a dozen cats, it's a simple open-and-shut case, even for a jury that's filled with oddballs like a dim-witted PR guy, a bickering couple, and a man obsessed with french fries. After all, every scrap of evidence indicts the accused. (I mean so clearly. The man is very, very guilty of stealing cats. Case closed.) And yet, Juror #8, a wannabe lawyer, believes that the "Cat Burglar" is innocent. Will he be able to sway the other jury members? Or will they side with Juror #3, the only sane man in the room? A hilarious parody of 12 Angry Men.
Casting - Seeking individuals 18 and older
The Guard - fun, friendly. Very into this new doc on Netflix. Not great at her job.
The Judge - stern an authority figure. Still trying to figure out Zoom.
Juror #12 - an emigrant from somewhere in Eastern Europe. Has trouble expressing her ideas and understanding others.
Juror #11 - works in PR. A fast-talker though not much of an intellect.
Juror #10 - angry, at almost everyone. Definite rage issues. Probably should be medicated.
Juror #9 - creepy guy. Eats fries all the time. Keeps to himself mostly.
Juror #8 - believes he or she should have been a lawyer. Persuasive and self-righteous.
Juror #7 - sweet but lonely. Unemployed and lives with her grand- mother. Thinks she’s found a best friend in the prosecutor.
Juror #5 & #6 - a bickering couple. Loud, argumentative, but gosh darn it if they don’t love each other.
Juror #4 - a bratty influencer. Her specialty is opening boxes. She does not care about this trial.
Juror #3 - a sensible, moral woman.
Juror #2 - nervous, prone to anxiety attacks. Terrible at making arguments or standing up for herself.
The Foreman - overly eager to please, energetic. Takes improv classes at the Y and is excited to share her “kooky characters.”

Spoon River Anthology
Conceived, Adapted, and Arranged
By Charles Aidman
Based on Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology
Synopsis: Via musical interludes, we are introduced in a cemetery to the ghosts of those who were inhabitants of this town, and whose secrets have gone with them to the grave. There are 60-odd monologues and vignettes in this constantly interesting entertainment offering an amazingly varied array of roles and impersonations, from young lovers and preachers and teachers to the funny chronicle of the confused Jewish man who ends up in the wrong cemetery. Both the solid and humorous sides of life are portrayed, with fetching ballads, and the free-verse form of Masters.
