BEAU JEST AUDITIONS

Pleasant Grove Players will be holding auditions for James Sherman’s hilarious comedy “Beau Jest” on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 10-11 from 7:00pm – 9:00pm in the Keith Christeson Theater on the first floor of the PG Library (30 E. Center). Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. No appointment is needed. Howard and Kathryn Little will be directing this production.

“Beau Jest” is the story of Sarah Goldman, a Jewish kindergarten teacher, who is eager to please her parents who are very anxious to see her marry a nice Jewish boy. Unfortunately, Sarah is dating a gentile named Chris Kringle. To please her parents, she invents a beau named Dr. David Steinberg. All proceeds smoothly until Mom and Dad insist upon meeting her new boyfriend. Sarah hires Bob Schroeder, an aspiring actor, to play Dr. Steinberg at a dinner party. Her parents fall for Bob, and so does Sarah. To complicate matters even more, Bob isn’t Jewish either!

Needed are 4 adult men and 2 adult women. Character age ranges for women 26-36 & 55-70; men 25-40 & 55-70. Some will need to be able to speak with a Jewish accent.

Performance Dates are March 2-19 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings. There will also be a Saturday matinee on March 17.
