Rockin Pneumonia Directed by Butch Caire Rehearsals begin December 1, 2014 Performances are January 16 - February 1, 2015 in Teatro Wego! and
February 20 - March 1 at Christ Episcopal School Theater (Covington)
This New Orleans Jukebox Musical is truly homegrown with a story by Butch Caire featuring classic New Orleans R&B songs made famous by local musical icons like Fats Domino, Irma Thomas, Ernie K-Doe, and many others! Not a revue type show or a retelling of the history of the recording business, Blueberry Hill instead tells a new story of everyday people who find themselves dealing with love & betrayal, laughter & tears. Audiences will find themselves sharing in the joy and sadness onstage and singing along as the plot takes some unexpected twists while bringing to life the songs they know and love.
Writer/director Butch Caire is looking for actors with strong voices who can dance well, harmonize, and bring out the tenderness, playfulness, pathos, and (above all) humor of these classic R&B songs.
Auditioners should come prepared to sing Irma Thomas' It's Raining, We will have music for these songs in a variety of keys.
SEEKING 2 WOMEN (AGES 20 TO 35)
TO APPEAR IN BOTH PRODUCTIONS

Macabaret is a song and dance review filled with macabre humor and double entendres performed by entertainers from beyond the grave. Sort of like Beetlejuice putting on a cabaret show. Director Butch Caire is looking for two males and three females who are able to sing and move well onstage. Age and ethnicity are not as important as the ability to read music and hold pitch in tight harmonies. Those auditioning are asked to prepare a one-minute monologue and 16 bars of a song, preferably humorous in nature.

From the moment his tall, red-and-white-striped hat appears around the door, Sally and her brother know that THE CAT IN THE HAT is the funniest, most mischievous cat they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and craziest of ideas, he is certainly fun to play with. And he turns a rainy afternoon into an amazing adventure. But what will mum find when she gets home...? Not a word has been touched or added to Dr. Seuss's classic, ensuring anyone who's read the story will find themselves transported into the world they've always imagined. SEEKING 2 MEN & 3 WOMEN (IMPROV ABILITY A PLUS) _____________________
Sex Please, We're Sixty Director: Uncle Wayne Daigrepont Rehearsals start January 3, 2015 Performances: February 27- March 15, 2015 Teatro Wego! Possible holdover March 20-22

Mrs. Stancliffe's Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast has been successful for many years. Guest (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next-door neighbor, the silver-tongued Bud Davis believes that they return to spend time with Bud the Stud in romantic liaisons. The prim and proper Mrs. Stancliffe, of course, steadfastly denies this. Her other neighbor, Henry Mitchell, a retired chemist, has developed a little blue pill patented under the name Venusia after Venus, the goddess of love, to increase the libido in menopausal women, specifically Mrs. Stancliffe. The only problem is he doesn't know if it works or not. Bud, inadvertently gets his hands on some of the Venusia pills and the fun begins as the guests arrive
SEEKING 2 MEN & 4 WOMEN (AGE 50+)
AUDITIONS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
