Sidekick Players is on the hunt
again for actors! The Affections of May by Norm Foster will
round out the Players’ 15th Season in May. Director, Carroll
Lefebvre is looking for actors to fill the four roles in Norm
Foster’s most popular play.
After being deserted by her
husband, a woman suddenly finds herself the centre of attention
in a small resort town. The Affections of May is funny,
bordering on farce, without crossing the line. On the heels of
Sidekick’s production of Foster’s very successful “The Melville
Boys”, the club is thrilled to be able to present two of
Canada’s most prolific playwright’s plays in one season.
Auditions will be on Saturday, February 11 from 1pm - 4pm and on
Monday, February 13 from 7pm - 9pm at the Tsawwassen Arts
Centre, 1172 56th Street, in the Sidekick Rehearsal Hall
(entrance at the side in the drive through). These will be open
auditions and a cold read from the script. NO APPOINTMENTS. This
is a non-equity production.
Require 1 female (30-35) and 3 males (mid 30-s to mid-40’s). If
you are older, but can “play” the above ages, please consider
auditioning.
Please e-mail resume and/or
headshot to carroll.lefebvre@hotmail.com.
The script is available at the Vancouver Library for perusal
prior to the audition. For further information, please contact
