CCP Holds Auditions For HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE 4/18

Auditions for Carmel Community Players' production of How I Learned to Drive are scheduled for 6:00 p.m., Sunday, April 18th at the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace. Roles are available for two men and three women.

Paula Vogel's 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning play will be directed by Brian G. Hartz. The production will rehearse throughout May and will run June 3-13 at the Carmel Community Playhouse at Clay Terrace.

Auditioners should prepare a 1-2 minute contemporary comic or dramatic monologue. Actors may also be asked to improvise, read from the script, or present an alternate monologue (if you have one prepared). Callbacks will feature script readings and some improvisation (for "Greek Chorus" roles).

Because of the adult nature of the play (sexual situations and some language), no one under 18 will be allowed to audition. Familiarity with the script is strongly recommended, and actors cast in the show will be required to read the entire script before accepting a role, as this play will be presented uncut. No nudity is required in this show.

How I Learned to Drive is a wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man. It is the story of a woman who learns the rules of the road and life from behind the wheel. Most of the play takes place in "flashbacks" to the 1960s, in suburban Maryland.

The Carmel Community Playhouse is located in the Clay Terrace Outdoor Lifestyles Center at 14299 Clay Terrace Blvd., Suite 140.
