The Mobtown Players announce auditions for their fall production of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress!

During a grand wedding reception on the grounds of a Southern estate, five bridesmaids are holed up in an upstairs bedroom, determined to avoid the festivities at all costs. Written by Alan Ball (Six Feet Under, True Blood, American Beauty), this comedy offers a frequently hilarious, sometimes touching, look at the intricacies of friendship and love.

The show runs 9/24 through 10/16. Fridays and Saturday nights with TBD Thursday and/or Sunday shows.

Directed by Melissa O’Brien.

Please prepare a 60 to 90 second comedic monologue for the audition. You may also be asked to read from the script.

Please also bring your headshot and resume. We also ask that you come prepared to list any potential conflicts between now and the run of the show.

Initial auditions will be held July 5 from 7:00 to 9:30 pm
Callbacks will be held July 7 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm

For an audition appointment, contact the stage manager, Brian Kraszewski, at briankrasz@gmail.com. We may also be able to accommodate some walk-ins, but appointments are encouraged so that we may keep the evening running smoothly.

All roles are open. The play takes place in Knoxville, Tennessee, so the appropriate dialect will be required.

Female roles (in order of appearance):
Frances–early 20′s. A somewhat timid Christian, Frances looks down on the other women smoking and drinking–until she gets a bottle of champagne in her hands.
Meredith–early 20′s. Her tough exterior hides some pretty deep wound, the source of which is waltzing around picking up women at the reception.
Trisha–early 30′s. Glamorous and seemingly self-assured, Trisha’s claim to fame is being the one who’s slept with just about every man they know.
Georgeanne–early 30′s. Feeling trapped in an unhappy marriage, Georgeanne came to the wedding hoping to reconnect with a former lover.
Mindy–mid to late 30′s. Despite a tendency to ramble and a deep love of the Miss America pageant, Mindy is often the one who sees situations with the most clarity.

Male role:
Tripp–late 20′s. A guy who likes to have fun, he’s set his sights on Trisha, with whom he might just have a real connection.

On display in our lobby this show is artwork by Joe Dennison and Michael Gaudreau.

In addition to Joe’s paintings, you might also notice that he is one of the playwights in our Mobtown Playwrights Group!

In our lobby throughout the production of Closer, we are proud to feature the artwork of Rams Brisueño.

Rams is a Baltimore artist with work exhibited in area galleries, Artscapes, cafes and in private collections. His work explores color and texture; myth and forms; and text and memory. By organically letting the work breathe and allowing a sense of whimsy and fantasy, his work comes together—order within chaos—with a sense of compositional unity through space, shape, and color. And he really likes to paint.

“Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art.” Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
