The show runs July 1-17, Friday & Saturday nights at 8 PM and Sundays at 3 PM.


It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and the playwright's best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who's panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre - and for comedy. But don't worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.


Below is a list of available roles:

PETER AUSTIN - The playwright. Everything is riding on tonight.

JULIA BUDDER - The producer. Genuinely nice.

IRA DREW - The critic. Has food stains on his tie.

FRANK FINGER -  The director. Soon to be knighted.

VIRGINIA NOYES - The star. She has an electronic bracelet on her ankle.

JAMES WICKER - The best friend. He used to be a stage actor.

GUS P. HEAD - The temporary help. Fresh off the farm. 


Allen Contemporary Theatre is open to a wide range of ages, all gender identities, & all ethnicities. Everyone is welcome to audition!

Light Up the Sky auditions

 

Allen Contemporary Theatre announces auditions for Light Up The Sky by Moss Hart, directed by Carol Rice.


Audition Dates: June 5,  6-8 PM and June 6, 7:30-9:30 PM at the theatre - 1210 E Main St #300, Allen, TX 75002


Sign up for an audition time here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090549aeab29a20-light


Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.


Rehearsals will be July 11 - August 18.


The show runs August 19-September 4, Friday & Saturday nights and Sundays at 3 PM.


Moss Hart’s Light Up the Sky takes place in the hotel room of Broadway actress Miss Irene Livingston, prior to the opening of a new play in an out-of-town tryout. Over the course of the evening we follow a truck-driver-turned-playwright watching his first play being produced in Boston. This backstage comedy features the grandly temperamental leading lady; her sarcastic, gin-rummy-playing mother; the flamboyant director; the lowbrow producer; and his ice-skating, wisecracking wife. The opening night seems to go awry and the producer, cast, etc., believe it is a flop and turn against one another, against the producer and especially against their unlikely author. When it turns out that the reviews are favorable, however, the tables turn, and we see how easily show business people can go from friends to enemies to friends, once more.


Below is a list of available roles:

Miss Lowell (F 20s-40s) - efficient ghostwriter for Irene Livingston Carleton Fitzgerald (M 40s-60s) - overly dramatic director

Frances Black (F late 20s-early 40s) - former ice skater; comes across as low-class but has a sharp wit; married to Sidney

Owen Turner (M late 30s-50s) - a knowing playwright who has worked with this group before

Stella Livingston (F 50s-70s) - stage mother of Irene; a tough old bird

Peter Sloan (M late 20s-30s) - playwright; quiet, but don't push him around

Sidney Black (M late 30s-50s) - a self-made millionaire; unpolished; married to Frances

Irene Livingston (F late 20s-40s) - a STAR in every sense of the word

Tyler Rayburn (M 40s-60s) - Irene's dull yet happy husband

William H. Gallagher (M 30s-60s) - a wealthy Shriner eager to get into show business

Sven, a Shriner, a Plain-Clothes Policeman (M any age) - three small roles to be played by the same actor; looking for variety
