SHE LOVES ME
~The Story that Inspired You've Got Mail~
AUDITIONS FOR FCT PRODUCTION OF SHE LOVES ME
Directed by Diane King
Produced by Laurie Bersack
Seeking the following roles:
Arpad Laszio: Delivery boy at Maraczek's Parfumerie. His exuberance is infectious and commitment to his job remarkable. He is ambitious and adorable. Age: 14 to 17. Vocal range top: E4, vocal range bottom: Bb2.
Ladislav Sipos: Not the brightest employee at Maraczek's Parfumerie. A confidant to Georg, he is an optimistic family man who looks like a huggable father. Age: 45 to 55. Vocal range top: E4, vocal range bottom: A2.
Ilona Ritter: Employed at Maraczek's Parfumerie. She is sexy and learned in the ways of romance, but longing for something more from the game of love. Age: 25 to 30. Vocal range top: E5, vocal range bottom: F#3.
Steven Kodaly: A well respected and liked employee at Maraczek's Parfumerie. Though he is considered dapper and occasionally charming, he is more of a shallow womanizer. Age: 25 to 30. Vocal range top: A4, vocal range bottom: B2.
Georg Nowack: An established employee of Maraczek's Parfumerie, he resembles a hopeless romantic. Shy, intelligent, and soft spoken. Age 25 to 30. Vocal range top: F4, vocal range bottom: B2.
Mr. Maraczek: Owner of Maraczek's Parfumerie. With a commanding presence, his dedication to the trade is rivaled only by his faithfulness to his wife. Age: 55 to 65. Vocal range top: C4, vocal range bottom: B2.
Amalia Balash: The eager new employee at Maraczek's Parfumerie. Despite being a skilled saleswoman, she easily becomes intimated and nervous. Attractive, bright, and a lover of literature. Age: 20 to 25. Vocal range top: B5, vocal range bottom: C4.

We will be loading set pieces and props from the dispensary building near the Theater on the Green building at the corner of Aiken Drive and Bludau Drive.
Help is also needed to organize theatrical costumes, also near the Vint Hill Theatre. This will be a fun time to organize the costumes from prior FCT shows!

If you can help on
clean-up day, great, if not, maybe you can help by

A special welcome and thank you to Douglas Barylski, the new Props and Set Manager for FCT. He has been diligently cleaning and organizing props and sets which will make everything easier on FCT Clean-Up Day. Douglas has created an inventory of the theater items as he prepares them to be moved to new storage locations.

ARTISTIC OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE
CREATIVE TYPES WELCOME!
2018 - 2019
Producer opportunity is available for the production of
The Lion in Winter. The show will be performed from January 25 to February 10, 2019
.
The Lion in Winter by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action - the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over both a kingdom and King Henry's paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says, "Every family has its ups and downs," and this royal family is no exception.
Set Designer position is open for
My Fair Lady. The show will be performed May 3 to May 19, 2019. When Lerner and Loewe's
My Fair Lady opened on Broadway, it collected six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, while the film version took home eight Oscars, including Best Picture. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play
Pygmalion,
My Fair Lady is that rare musical by which all others are measured. The tale of a cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady features some of musical theatre's greatest scores and beautiful sets.
Assistant Costumer and Seamstresses sought for overall productions and/or particular shows.
For more information about these volunteer positions, visit www.FCTstage.org or call 540-349-8760.
