 Printable Audition Announcement

The Providence Players are continuing the audition process for “It’s a Wonderful  Life – A Live Radio Play,” which will be performed at the James Lee Community Theatre on Dec 1-4, and again on Dec 8-11.  We are still in the need of men for the supporting roles which require the actors to portray at least 3 characters in the show.  We are also considering women for the supporting roles too.  This show is NOT pre-cast with the same performers from 2010…in fact 4 of the actors from last year are not returning because of conflicts.  We hope you can attend the next round of auditions on Oct 17 (Monday) from 7pm -9pm at the James Lee Center in the Multipurpose Room. Please look for more information at providenceplayers.org…..This is a great show which I know will get you in the mood for the holidays!

 It’s a Wonderful Life:  A Live Radio Play

Adapted by Joe Landry
From the screenplay by Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Frank Capra, and Jo Swerling

Directed by Brian O’Connor

Turn back the clock to the 1940s and set the dial for a double dose of holiday nostalgia. This version of It’s a Wonderful Life harkens back to the golden age of radio, and is performed as a live radio broadcast in front of a studio audience. Conceived and drawn directly from Frank Capra’s classic film, a talented ensemble of actors and one clever sound technician tell the story of George Bailey and the night he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. A holiday treat you will want to share with the entire family.

From the director

Please come prepared to read different roles from the play – individual readings and scene (multiple persons) readings as well.  I need to see how the voices blend and work together.  Remember, this is a radio show that you will perform in front of microphones.  The voice and characterizations are critical for the play to work, as are the wonderful sounds effects!!  -Brian O’Connor

Production Information

About the Play
When Patrick loses his father, his wonderfully self-centered, witty and eccentric Aunt Mame, a Fifth Avenue socialite, welcomes him with open arms and introduces him to a life he never imagined. Unaccustomed to children, but not so to interesting friends, parties and the finer things in life, Mame introduces Patrick to a life full of madcap parties, silly escapades and other surprises. Patrick embraces his new home with enthusiasm. Even a stock market crash can’t hinder Mame, who throws herself into a series of unsuccessful jobs and eventually finds a wealthy Southerner to protect her way of life. Love can be wild, fun, and have no bounds when Auntie Mame is around. Auntie Mame is a heartwarming comedy that takes us on a journey of love, acceptance and hysterically wild fun over an 18 year period; 1928 to 1946. This comic classic inspired the musical Mame.

In March, Providence Players of Fairfax (PPF) launched its Scholarship Program, in support of graduating seniors from the PPF community who have demonstrated a commitment to theater arts and show strong potential for further contributions to the performing arts.

We are pleased to announce that PPF has chosen four very talented, college-bound students as scholarship recipients:

Emily Adler has been involved in theater arts for six years, appearing with the JCC of Northern Virginia Centertainers, the AFYP Stages at George Mason University, and at Woodson High School.  She has received numerous honors and awards, including this year’s Cappie award for Best Comic Actress in a Musical for her role as Aunt March in Little Women.  Also, the Virginia Theater Association Scholarship for Theatrical Merit Performance, the National Performing Arts Festival Award for Outstanding Performance, and a Cappies Nomination for Best Supporting actress in a play for her role in David and Lisa at Woodson High School.  She is a member of the International Thespian Society as well as the National Honor Society.  She has been described as enthusiastic, bright, and extremely disciplined.  Her drama coach comments, “…Emily is one of the special ones.  She is a talent who shows great promise.”  Emily is headed to the Theatre School at De Paul University in the fall.

Erica Messenger has been an actor, a dancer, a director, a choreographer, a stage combatant and a playwright during her years at Woodson High School and, according to the school’s director of theater arts, has performed all of these roles with passion, skill and great success.  In addition to performing at Woodson, she has appeared onstage at the Little Theater of Alexandria, the AFYP Stages and at Tada!Camp, where she also served as a volunteer counselor.  She is a member of the International Thespian Society and received a Cappies Commendation for outstanding contributions to Woodson’s Theatre Department.  Erica is also the recipient of the Bryn Mawr Book Award “in recognition of an intense intellectual commitment, a purposeful vision of life, and a desire to make a meaningful contribution to the world. “  Erica plans to attend Virginia Commonwealth University in the fall where she will pursue a BFA in acting.

Bill Miller has contributed tirelessly to the Falls Church High School Drama Department for the past three years, serving as the technical director for the school’s 2010 – 11 theater production season.  The head of his high school’s drama department tells us that Bill has demonstrated a strong work ethic, maturity, dedication, and exceptional technical skills.  He is a recent recipient of the National Capital Region Cappies Award for Props and Effects, and was praised by the Cappies for his outstanding lighting and set design execution for the school’s fall production.  He will graduate as a National Honor Thespian and has been nominated for the G. R. Allen Award for technical theater excellence at Falls Church High School.  Bill has focused on training fellow theater techs at Falls Church so that, as his drama teacher notes, “the mantle of excellence will be successfully transferred to capable hands next year.”  Bill plans to attend Longwood University in the fall and major in technical theater.

Jessica Rawls has been involved in theater arts since middle school.  She has been extremely active with Fairfax High School’s drama program, appearing onstage in numerous roles over the past years.  She has participated in the Virginia High School League’s One Act Competition where she received an All Star Actress Nomination for her performance as Exeter in Henry V.   She has been a part of the City of Fairfax Theater Company’s mentoring program for children and a volunteer counselor at Fairfax High School’s drama camp.  For the past four years she has been an officer of the Fairfax Players Theater Department, serving as President for the past two years.  Her stage combat coach shared with us, “In short, if it were possible for me to copy, bottle and sell the talent and work ethic Jess Rawls’ possesses, I’d be a millionaire.”  Jess plans to attend Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts and participate in the school’s theater activities.

Each student will receive a $1500 scholarship award to be used toward their college education with a major in any field.  Congratulations to these students.

Side Man

By Warren Leight
Directed by Jimmy Gertzog

An award-winning drama, Side Man captures the pulse and climate of the New York jazz scene: a world of sounds, smoke-filled clubs and cramped apartments. Clifford tells the story of his father Gene, a brilliant musician whose career fades with the decline of jazz and birth of a new musical era. With Gene unwilling and unable to get a full time job, Clifford and his mother Terry struggle to support each other. Through sharp dialogue and  dime-store philosophy, often provided by the musicians in Gene’s band, Side Man depicts redemption and recovery as Clifford struggles with the burden of caring for the adults upon whom he depends.  Download the full season brochure.

Side Man is not for young audiences. It contains mature themes and graphic language.

Winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize nominee. After writing Side Man, Warren Leight garnered the Oppenheimer Award for Best New American Playwright.

Each year, Providence Players works with worthy organizations to provide concessions to patrons at each PPF performance.  Net proceeds benefit a worthy cause.

For its final production of the season, Play On! , PPF will work with Girl Scout Troop #2909 of Falls Church, Virginia.

“We are a group of 17 middle schoolers who provide service to homeless shelter guests, cancer survivors, and at risk youth in our community.  We also participate in outdoor adventures such as white water rafting and skiing.  Thank you for your support!”

In February, the troop earned the Girl Scout Bronze Award for Community Work, the highest honor a girl scout junior can achieve.   Learn more about this extraordinary group of young future leaders.

Troop member, Elise Welsh, performed in PPF’s 2010 production of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.

In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. Through a myriad of enriching experiences, such as extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, girls grow courageous and strong. Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.

David Siegal gives a preview of Providence Players’ upcoming production of Play On!  Here are a few exerpts from the article:

“Beth Gilles-Whitehead calls the Providence Players’ next production, “Play On,” a real crowd pleaser. “The audience will enjoy all the hilarious fun of watching a play-within-a play being rehearsed, then performed with the cast literally falling on their faces” said Giles-Whitehead, who plays a “diva” in the production.

“There is just so much visual humor, it is a really a cross between a bawdy Mel Brooks comedy and a choreographed musical,” she said.

According to Director Beth Hughes-Brown, “Play On” is about “a small town community theater troupe trying to do a show on a shoestring budget, while the playwright continually rewrites the script even up to opening night.”

“The cast are all busybodies trying to get involved in areas of the production that they have no business in,” Hughes-Brown said. “This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to have the show ready since everyone has such firm opinions of what it should be.””

The Shadow Box recieves high acclaim from our friends at ShowBizRadio.net.  We are extremely proud of this production, and we hope you take the opportunity to read this wonderful review.  Here is small excerpt.

“I must say that I don’t cry at plays. Sure I feel the emotions as most of us do, but while sitting in the audience, the emotions are usually kept in check. John Coscia playing Joe and Jayne Victor playing Maggie are two excellent actors. They have totally fleshed out their characters and captured every moment. They will effortlessly rip your heart out and dance on it. All I can say is, “Wow!” what a wonderful theatrical experience. Thank you both. You had me at “Hello!”

Leta Hall in the role of Agnes and Mona Kay Helper in the role of Felicity are yet another tour-de-force actors within our midst. They both quietly present their characters in a way that we all feel as if we’ve known them in our lives. Leta’s characters moments of realization and discoveries with her characters subsequent anguish of responsibilities will tug heartily at your heartstrings. I expected this kind of performance from Leta and she did a fabulous job. In turn, so did Mona Kay Helper. A wonderful job of understanding of her characters life.” –  ShowBizRadio
