WCP Auditions
West Coast Players announce auditions for the uproarious comedy, See How They Run, by Philip King. The story involves swift action, impossibly hilarious situations and rib-tickling plot in this long-running London hit.. In an English vicarage, the vicar and his wife are overwhelmed by a barrage of colorful guests, including an American actress, an American G.I. stationed with the Air Force in England, a cockney maid who has seen too many American movies, an old dowager who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life,” a sedate Bishop aghast at all these goings-on, and four men in identical clergyman suits, one of whom is an escaped prisoner. Ages are somewhat flexible, but as written the roles are:
Ida, the maid: late teens/early twenties (cockney)
Miss Skillion: a nosey spinster late 30’s/early 40’s
The Reverend Lionel Toop: mid 30’s/40’s
Penelope Toop, his wife: mid/late 20’s
Lance Corporal Clive Winton: same age as Penelope
The Intruder/Escaped Prisoner: 20’s/30’s
The Bishop of Lax: Penelope’s Uncle
The Reverend Arthur Humphrey: 40’s
Sergeant Towers: 20’s-50’s
Auditions will be held on Sunday May 17 at 6:00 p.m. If you are unable to make the audition date or have any questions, please email the Director, Jamie Bierchen at jamiebierchen@gmail.com.
