*************************************************************************************************************** Don't Miss Lettice and Lovage by Peter Shaffer – opens April 30
Be sure to reserve your seat early! Our last two shows have sold out for several performances and we hate turning folks away! At its heart, British playwright Peter Shaffer's sparkling 1987 comedy, Lettice and Lovage, is about overcoming mediocrity. Stately home tour guide, theatrical Lettice Douffet, creates interest in boring Fustian House to entertain and inform her tourists. Lettice grew up in a family troupe of traveling Shakespearean actors. Her dingy basement flat in London's Earls Court is stuffed with old costumes and props, which she uses to gussy-up her tours of dull Fustian House. Over three different tours, she begins to depart from the boring Preservation Trust tour script to embark on a cycle of escalating historical embellishment. Into her most extravagant invention marches hortatory Lotte Schoen, her employer from the Trust and Lettice is in serious trouble. Lotte is stiff and starchy and a historical purist who wears her gray suit like a policewoman's uniform. Only facts matter in the closed box of her mind. The play is wonderful scenes of verbal wit, farce and drama. Peter Shaffer is the author of Equus, Amadeus and Royal Hunt of the Sun.
Cinderella Auditions! Youth Actors ages 11+ - dancers, singers, talent show contestants.... Sunday May 23 at 3 PM and Monday May 24 at 7 PM at the Daytona Playhouse Daytona Playhouse will present Cinderella by Stuart Ardern and Bob Heather – a very funny, campy Cinderella. The cast is large with a chorus. For the Ball, we are looking for a few “talent show” acts such as juggling, magic, etc. to entertain the Prince. The Ugly Sisters will be played by boys as this is an English pantomime show and boys always play such parts – dressed as girls but acting like boys... no experience required. No prepared singing required – just do your best Happy Birthday if you are interested in a singing lead. All parts will be played by Youth Actors. *************************************************************************************************************** *************************************************************************************************************** |
