SYNOPSIS: A vanished father. A pill-popping mother. Three sisters harboring shady little secrets. When the large Weston family unexpectedly reunites after Dad disappears, their Oklahoman family homestead explodes in a maelstrom of repressed truths and unsettling secrets. Mix in Violet, the drugged-up, scathingly acidic matriarch, and you've got a major new play that unflinchingly—and uproariously—exposes the dark side of the Midwestern American family. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize.

SYNOPSIS:
A true theatrical event, this legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created. In FOLLIES the time is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, FOLLIES uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
BENJAMIN STONE Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A man bent on success from a young age who has achieved it and now realizes the toll it had on personal relationships.
BUDDY PLUMMER Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A charismatic man with a sad face wrinkled from years of too much smiling. Stuck in a broken marriage and has had multiple affairs.
CARLOTTA CAMPION Female, 45 – 65 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting ("I'm Still Here")
The one-time movie star, who has seen everything and is proud to be standing where she is.
DIMITRI WEISSMAN Male, 70 - 80 / Non-singing role / Supporting
An acerbic, vital, energetic man who staged the Follies every year between the great wars, and made stars of any girl he wanted from the legions who threw themselves at him.
HATTIE WALKER Female, 60 - 75 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting
("Broadway Baby")
An appealingly tough, no-nonsense lady. A former knockout Follies girl from the earlier years of the shows. She has married several times and always to the same type: the bad boy.
HEIDI SCHILLER Female, 65 - 75 / Range: Soprano / Supporting ("One More Kiss")
Tall and queenly. Viennese. Incredibly rich and well known in elite social circles, she is constantly reminiscing.
PHYLLIS ROGERS STONE Female, 45 – 60 / Range: Alto Belt / Lead
A woman who made her husband her life, the journey has hardened her and replaced the traces of life with cold sophistication and poise.
ROSCOE Male, 50 - 65 / Range: Tenor / Supporting ("Beautiful Girls")
An elderly showman with a majestic tenor voice, who introduces the Follies girls as if no time has passed and they are still the beautiful young girls of years ago.
SALLY DURANT PLUMMER Female, 45 - 60 / Range: Soprano / Lead
Still remarkably like the girl she was thirty years ago. A former Follies girl, who married a man she didn't love. Needy and delusional at times.
SOLANGE LA FITTE Female, 50 - 70 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting ("Ah, Paree!")
A French fashionista. Very much still alive and enjoying it, she is a perfume creator and seller, who has travelled the world, but loves Paris more than any other place.
STELLA DEEMS Female, 50 - 65 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
("Who's The Woman?)
A portly woman who surprisingly moves with a special lightness; half of a former performing duo with her husband, but they gave it up to open a general store in Miami. Loves life and has led a good one.
YOUNG BEN Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A not yet fully realized version of the man we see before us today, he is driven and intelligent but not quite so distinguished, and not yet frightened by his success.
YOUNG BUDDY Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A younger version of the Buddy we see today. Charismatic and lively, a man who knows how to have fun. Loves Sally blindly and wants to give her the world.
YOUNG PHYLLIS Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
A younger version of Phyllis, when she was an energetic and naïve Follies girl. Slightly sad and homesick. With all the drive and none of the sophistication of the adult Phyllis.
YOUNG SALLY Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Soprano / Supporting
A younger version of the adult Sally. She is perhaps the most similar to her adult counterpart of any of the foursome. Wants it all, but may not have the patience or drive to wait for it.

stand-up comedy, and of course, improv. Musician (and KCIC
member) Ryan Hruza as well as vocalist Nicole Santorella will start
the evening with some cover songs and original music. Local
comedians Tim Marks and Ben Auxier will open for headlining
comic Dennis Chanay. Members of the KC Improv Company will
perform during the second half of the show, leading up to
midnight.
Admission is $25 and grants access to the show as well as
gives attendees two drink vouchers (redeemable at GRB&B) and a
champagne toast at midnight.
The comedy begins at 10pm, with doors opening at 9:30pm. Green
Room Burgers and Beer will be open all day on the 31st, and
attendees can check in for Kickin' in the New Year beginning at
8pm.

"Watch on the Rhine" AUDITIONS
Leawood Stage Company*
(Community)
The Leawood Stage Company will hold auditions for Watch on the Rhine on Saturday, January 18th from 2:00 – 4:00 pm and Sunday, January 19th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm at Leawood City Hall. Call backs will be held on January 26th from 3:00 – 6:00 pm. by appointment only.
Watch on the Rhine, a moving play by Lillian Hellman, is about an idealistic German who, with his American wife and two children, flees Hitler's Germany in 1940 to finds sanctuary with his wife's family in the United States. He hopes for a respite from the dangerous work he has involved himself with, but his desire for personal safety soon comes into conflict with the deeply held beliefs that have made him an active anti-Nazi.
Told in compelling, human terms, the play is an eloquent and stirring tribute to the brave men and women who, despite all odds, struggled to stem the tide of fascism which soon spread throughout Europe and the world.
Sides will be posted on the LSC website www.leawoodstageco.org and at auditions. Parts do not need to be memorized, but auditioners should be familiar with the material. Choose the side you feel most showcases your abilities and be prepared to be asked to read others:
Fanny Farrelly The matriarch of the family – 40s - 60s
David Farrelly Fanny's son late 20s-30s
Sara Muller Fanny's daughter 30s-40s
Kurt Muller Sara's husband – late 30s-50s

Joseph Fanny's butler any age
Joshua Muller Sara's oldest son Teens-20s
Babette Muller Sara's daughter Teens-early 20s

Leawood Stage Company is pleased to welcome Alex Bigus for his LSC directing debut. Alex is no stranger to the Leawood Stage Company.

SYNOPSIS:
A true theatrical event, this legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created. In FOLLIES the time is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, FOLLIES uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
BENJAMIN STONE Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A man bent on success from a young age who has achieved it and now realizes the toll it had on personal relationships.
BUDDY PLUMMER Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A charismatic man with a sad face wrinkled from years of too much smiling. Stuck in a broken marriage and has had multiple affairs.
CARLOTTA CAMPION Female, 45 – 65 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting ("I'm Still Here")
The one-time movie star, who has seen everything and is proud to be standing where she is.
DIMITRI WEISSMAN Male, 70 - 80 / Non-singing role / Supporting
An acerbic, vital, energetic man who staged the Follies every year between the great wars, and made stars of any girl he wanted from the legions who threw themselves at him.
HATTIE WALKER Female, 60 - 75 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting
("Broadway Baby")
An appealingly tough, no-nonsense lady. A former knockout Follies girl from the earlier years of the shows. She has married several times and always to the same type: the bad boy.
HEIDI SCHILLER Female, 65 - 75 / Range: Soprano / Supporting ("One More Kiss")
Tall and queenly. Viennese. Incredibly rich and well known in elite social circles, she is constantly reminiscing.
PHYLLIS ROGERS STONE Female, 45 – 60 / Range: Alto Belt / Lead
A woman who made her husband her life, the journey has hardened her and replaced the traces of life with cold sophistication and poise.
ROSCOE Male, 50 - 65 / Range: Tenor / Supporting ("Beautiful Girls")
An elderly showman with a majestic tenor voice, who introduces the Follies girls as if no time has passed and they are still the beautiful young girls of years ago.
SALLY DURANT PLUMMER Female, 45 - 60 / Range: Soprano / Lead
Still remarkably like the girl she was thirty years ago. A former Follies girl, who married a man she didn't love. Needy and delusional at times.
SOLANGE LA FITTE Female, 50 - 70 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting ("Ah, Paree!")
A French fashionista. Very much still alive and enjoying it, she is a perfume creator and seller, who has travelled the world, but loves Paris more than any other place.
STELLA DEEMS Female, 50 - 65 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
("Who's The Woman?)
A portly woman who surprisingly moves with a special lightness; half of a former performing duo with her husband, but they gave it up to open a general store in Miami. Loves life and has led a good one.
YOUNG BEN Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A not yet fully realized version of the man we see before us today, he is driven and intelligent but not quite so distinguished, and not yet frightened by his success.
YOUNG BUDDY Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A younger version of the Buddy we see today. Charismatic and lively, a man who knows how to have fun. Loves Sally blindly and wants to give her the world.
YOUNG PHYLLIS Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
A younger version of Phyllis, when she was an energetic and naïve Follies girl. Slightly sad and homesick. With all the drive and none of the sophistication of the adult Phyllis.
YOUNG SALLY Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Soprano / Supporting
A younger version of the adult Sally. She is perhaps the most similar to her adult counterpart of any of the foursome. Wants it all, but may not have the patience or drive to wait for it.

Vaudeville Team / 55 – 75 / Range: Baritone & Mezzo / Supporting ("Rain on the Roof")

Storytelling and Creative Workshop:
Storytelling and Creative Workshop:
International performer and producer Gavin Robertson shares some of the tools from his creative toolbox that influence the making of his own work including corporal mime technique - far from being abandoned in the ghetto of street theatre, this can be a speedy and economic theatre/storytelling technique that audiences respond to worldwide.
Transposing the cinema: less a physical technique and more a mindset, this one true global language is ours to harness in the theatre and appeals to any audiences' inner storytelling analyst!
Plus, some warm-up games and partner work that can free you to play with text or simply open you up to working with better focus...
Come and play!
Please do come with a speech or monologue you can use. No more than 90 seconds needed - if you know one that's longer, that's fine!
Dress for movement as well!

The Barn Players Theatre

SYNOPSIS:
A true theatrical event, this legendary masterpiece is considered by many to be the greatest musical ever created. In FOLLIES the time is 1971, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts a reunion of ex-Follies performers in his crumbling theatre, setting the stage for a parade of brilliant pastiche numbers, including "Losing My Mind," "I'm Still Here," and "Broadway Baby." Amid the reminiscing, two middle-aged couples confront some unpleasant truths about their past and present and come face to face with the future. Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, FOLLIES uses the musical theatre as a metaphor for the collapse of American innocence and naivete in the post-Kennedy years.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
BENJAMIN STONE Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A man bent on success from a young age who has achieved it and now realizes the toll it had on personal relationships.
BUDDY PLUMMER Male, 45 - 60 / Range: Baritone / Lead
A charismatic man with a sad face wrinkled from years of too much smiling. Stuck in a broken marriage and has had multiple affairs.
CARLOTTA CAMPION Female, 45 – 65 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting ("I'm Still Here")
The one-time movie star, who has seen everything and is proud to be standing where she is.
DIMITRI WEISSMAN Male, 70 - 80 / Non-singing role / Supporting
An acerbic, vital, energetic man who staged the Follies every year between the great wars, and made stars of any girl he wanted from the legions who threw themselves at him.
HATTIE WALKER Female, 60 - 75 / Range: Alto Belt / Supporting
("Broadway Baby")
An appealingly tough, no-nonsense lady. A former knockout Follies girl from the earlier years of the shows. She has married several times and always to the same type: the bad boy.
HEIDI SCHILLER Female, 65 - 75 / Range: Soprano / Supporting ("One More Kiss")
Tall and queenly. Viennese. Incredibly rich and well known in elite social circles, she is constantly reminiscing.
PHYLLIS ROGERS STONE Female, 45 – 60 / Range: Alto Belt / Lead
A woman who made her husband her life, the journey has hardened her and replaced the traces of life with cold sophistication and poise.
ROSCOE Male, 50 - 65 / Range: Tenor / Supporting ("Beautiful Girls")
An elderly showman with a majestic tenor voice, who introduces the Follies girls as if no time has passed and they are still the beautiful young girls of years ago.
SALLY DURANT PLUMMER Female, 45 - 60 / Range: Soprano / Lead
Still remarkably like the girl she was thirty years ago. A former Follies girl, who married a man she didn't love. Needy and delusional at times.
SOLANGE LA FITTE Female, 50 - 70 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting ("Ah, Paree!")
A French fashionista. Very much still alive and enjoying it, she is a perfume creator and seller, who has travelled the world, but loves Paris more than any other place.
STELLA DEEMS Female, 50 - 65 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
("Who's The Woman?)
A portly woman who surprisingly moves with a special lightness; half of a former performing duo with her husband, but they gave it up to open a general store in Miami. Loves life and has led a good one.
YOUNG BEN Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A not yet fully realized version of the man we see before us today, he is driven and intelligent but not quite so distinguished, and not yet frightened by his success.
YOUNG BUDDY Male, 18 - 30 / Range: Baritone / Supporting
A younger version of the Buddy we see today. Charismatic and lively, a man who knows how to have fun. Loves Sally blindly and wants to give her the world.
YOUNG PHYLLIS Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Mezzo Belt / Supporting
A younger version of Phyllis, when she was an energetic and naïve Follies girl. Slightly sad and homesick. With all the drive and none of the sophistication of the adult Phyllis.
YOUNG SALLY Female, 18 - 25 / Range: Soprano / Supporting
A younger version of the adult Sally. She is perhaps the most similar to her adult counterpart of any of the foursome. Wants it all, but may not have the patience or drive to wait for it.

Tenth Season approaches
For Immediate Release
Contact: Wendy Thompson
(816) 813-9654, direct
(816) 225-1018, cell
The Tenth Season on The Mystery Train …
Kansas City, Mo. (December 2, 2013) … is on track to be a killer! The Mystery Train announces a line-up of all-new murder-mysteries to celebrate its Tenth Season! Written by local playwrights and focused on local historical backdrops, the interactive shows are so much fun, it's like getting away with … well, you know! So, put on your thinkin' cap and get ready to play!
End of the Line, by Philip blue owl Hooser (Feb 7-Mar 29) It's terminal when Kansas City's streetcars make their last run in 1957. A group of passengers has been selected for a special ride -- but this cable car isn't climbing to the stars... It's a one-way ticket, because someone's off their trolley!
Funeral for Brother John (April 18-June 7) Nearly everyone in Kansas City will be there—even though it's a dangerous crowd. Mobsters, policemen and politicians all come to pay their respects, but someone is still gunnin' for a gangster.
Legally Dead (June 27-Aug 16) A lawyer in petticoats and trained agents of the government collaborate over a case in trial, until a murder happens and then everyone is laying blame and filing suit.
Magical Murdery Tour, by Michael M. Dragen
(Sept 5-Oct 25) The British Invasion has taken a turn through Kansas City in 1964, and the fans are loving it! A killing has been made, both onstage and off and the culprit must be found.
Mystery on the Ornament Express (Nov 14-Jan 3)
The lights are lit, the holly is hung, and everything is jolly and bright. The holidays are a time for peace and love, not passion and murder. Can you return a dead body?
Each evening begins with role-playing at 6:30 pm; followed by a marvelous meal and a mystery-comedy show at 7 pm. Shows are in area restaurants, such as The Golden Ox, Californos Westport and Finnigan's Hall. Friday and Saturdays through the spring, Thursday evenings are added in the summer. Cost is $54.00 each on Thursdays (and First Fridays), $64.00 each on Friday and Saturday, and includes dinner, show, tax and gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made by calling The Central Ticket Office at (816) 235-6222, or The Mystery Train office at (816) 813-9654. Visit our website at www.kcmysterytrain.com for a complete schedule.

Olathe Civic Theatre Assn (OCTA) Call for Director Submissions
Directors wanted. Passion required!
The board of directors of the Olathe Civic Theater Association (OCTA) is looking for directors to bring to life an exciting 2014-2015 season. We're inviting you to submit a slate of no more than three scripts you'd like to direct at OCTA (any additional scripts beyond the first three listed will not be considered).
Send them to us at octa.directors@olathetheare.org, accompanied by your theatrical resume, by December 20, 2013. Additionally, please indicate the months of the year, from late Fall 2014 to late Spring 2015, that you are available.
This year OCTA is selecting its season based on submissions from directors and selections from the OCTA Season Selection Committee. We encourage all directors to submit shows that you have a passion for. An important consideration to keep in mind when you submit shows to OCTA is that our season is typically five shows, only one of which may be a musical. The rest of the season is usually a mix of comedies and dramas. For the best chance of having one of your scripts selected, please include a variety of genres in your submission. If, however, there's one show that's your dream show, please submit it. We'll review it and see if we can fit it into our season. At OCTA, we respect and encourage your passion for the material.
Also take into consideration that OCTA productions have certainly stretched and put our wonderfully intimate theatre facility to the test, but the OCTA stage and theater are geared toward smaller shows - although many of our past productions have used imaginative staging within the space. Our stage dimensions are included with this letter to use as a guideline as you consider your submissions. You can also request a list of past shows to give you a sense what we've done before. Don't be afraid to submit a show that you see on the list! We're open to reviving a production from our history.
At OCTA we own our building. You have access to the performance space for rehearsals from day one, so you won't have to lug props or costumes from one location to another. Also, we don't interfere with your artistic decisions: Show us you can do it and we'll help make it possible!
If one of your submissions is considered for our season, we'll contact you to set up an interview. OCTA is a great place to bring your theatrical artistry alive, and we hope you'll consider partnering with us to produce a great piece of theater. We look forward to seeing your submissions no later than December 20, 2013.
Sincerely,
Ellie DeShon
Chair, OCTA Season Selection Committee
