The Barn Players Theatre
6219 Martway in Mission, KS
SYNOPSIS:
Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a harrowing tale of
persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes
gritty
realities with liberating fantasies. Cell mates in a Latin
American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary
undergoing torture and Molina is an unabashed
homosexual
serving eight years for deviant behavior. Molina shares
his
fantasies about an actress, Aurora (originated on
Broadway
by Chita Rivera) with Valentin. One of her roles is a
Spider
Woman who kills with a kiss.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
We are looking for a multi-racial, high-energy cast of
performers for this Tony Award winning musical.
Aurora / Spider Woman 25 - 50, mezzo soprano: The
central figure of Molina's fantasy world – a "vampy diva",
stunning, dazzling and comforting in all her roles except
for
that of the Spider Woman, who is treacherous and
frightening to Molina. Role requires strong acting, singing
and movement.
Molina 30 - 45, tenor: A homosexual man serving an 8-
year
sentence for deviant behavior, who worked as a window
dresser. Very smart and imaginative with a tremendous
ability to shape language into images. Must be a strong
actor and singer and must move well.
Valentin 25 - 35, high baritone: A man imprisoned for his
'fanatical' political views. Passionate and angry, Valentine
carries a deep hatred for the corruption in the Argentine
government and is not afraid to fight against those who
would oppress the working class. Deeply suspicious, he
trusts no one. Must be a very strong actor and singer
Marta 23 - 30, soprano: Valentines love. Earthy and
beautiful. Appears mostly in dreams, but retains her
earthiness. Must be a strong actor and singer.
Molina's Mother 50 - 65, contralto: Molina's loving
mother.
Careworn, but warm and loving. Years of worrying about
her
son have taken their toll on her appearance and health.
Must be strong actor and singer.
Warden 40 - 55, speaking role: A hard-edged
authoritarion.
Sharp and intelligent, he is not without a certain amount
of
charm which he uses to get the information he seeks.
Enjoys the position he holds. Strong actor needed.
Esteban and Marcos 25 - 45, speaking roles. Prison
Guards. Pretty funny and comedic, but can turn deadly on
a
dime. Must be comfortable with lifting bodies and
dragging
them around.
Gabriel 20 to 30, high baritone. Molina's current
infatuation. A waiter, handsome and straight. He is warm
and appealing, but not interested in Molina in the way
that
he wishes him to be. May double as prisoner.
Prisoners 20 - 45, all voices
An ensemble of 4-8 men who play prisoners that double
as
other characters. Looking for strong singers who can
move
well.
For more information, please contact Eric Magnus,
Artistic
Director of

Dear fellow Patrons of the Arts and Jazz Enthusists,
Your attendance is requested to the April 30th, Live at the Hollywood Theater concert featuring Book of Gaia. All the proceeds of this year's concerts will go to the RCCP's youth theater program to help defray the cost of rights and production costs, and to assure that participation by our young people remains free of charge.
The show begins at 8 p.m. J.W. Crancer's will be open to ticket holders at 6:30 p.m., for pre-show fellowship. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door and, may be purchased at The Tune Shop, Bisque-It, the Riverfront Community Center or online at www.leavenworthconcertseries.org. Please share with your friends!
Who are Book of Gaia? They are a trio of exceptional and accomplished women performing together. The members are Angela Hagenbach, Pamela Baskin-Watson, and Nedra Dixon. Angela was twice chosen as United States Cultural Jazz Ambassador, completing two World Tours in that capacity. She authored the celebrated, 'JazzAlice: An Adventure in Wonderland', the 2015 musical production based on the Lewis Carroll classic set to the music of John Coltrane. She was the first runner-up in the 2015 Sarah Vaugh International Jazz Vocal competition in November.
Pamela taught at the renowned Harlem School of the Arts, where she founded and directed the Vocal Jazz program. As a composer-arranger, she has works recorded by such notable jazz musicians as Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, vocalists Betty Carter and Kevin Mahogany, saxophonist Bobby Watson, trumpeter Roy Hargrove, and pianist James Williams.
Nedra comes from a theater background. She has received critical acclaim in venues from Broadway and Off-Broadway to the concert stages of Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden in New York.

Most recently she was featured in popular rapper Tech N9ne's music video, Fear, and is the "Featured Vocalist" on Kansas City's NPR-affiliated jazz show, 12th Street Jump.
I hope to see you at the show!

effected? Over 100 community volunteers from age
2 years to 75 will perform alongside StoneLion's
professional troupe. Crescendo Conservatory from

Mother's Day than in the park with a beautiful and
timely puppet spectacle about protecting the
planet we live on for our children?

Set in the 1920s, Nice Work If You Can Get It is the story
of
charming and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter, who meets
rough female bootlegger Billie Bendix the weekend of his
wedding. Jimmy, who has been married three (or is it
four?)
times before, is preparing to marry Eileen Evergreen, a
self-
obsessed modern dancer. Thinking Jimmy and Eileen will
be out of town, Billie and her gang hide cases of alcohol
in
the basement of Jimmy's Long Island mansion. But when
Jimmy, his wife-to-be and her prohibitionist family show
up
at the mansion for the wedding, Billie and her cohorts
pose
as servants, causing hijinks galore.

dripping with charm and charisma.

young
woman. Partners in rum-running with Cookie and Duke.
• COOKIE McGEE – A fast-talking, wise-cracking
bootlegger.
• EILEEN EVERGREEN – Jimmy's latest fiancé. Self-
proclaimed finest interpreter of modern dance in the
world.
• DUKE MAHONEY – Cookie's sidekick. Not the
brightest
guy around.
• SENATOR MAX EVERGREEN – Eileen's father. A
humorless career politician. Serious, stern and
judgmental.
• DUCHESS ESTONIA DULWORTH – Duchess of
Woodford. A noted prohibitionist and bejeweled dowager.

SYNOPSIS:
Kiss of the Spider Woman revamps a harrowing tale of
persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes
gritty
realities with liberating fantasies. Cell mates in a Latin
American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary
undergoing torture and Molina is an unabashed
homosexual
serving eight years for deviant behavior. Molina shares
his
fantasies about an actress, Aurora (originated on
Broadway
by Chita Rivera) with Valentin. One of her roles is a
Spider
Woman who kills with a kiss.
CAST BREAKDOWN:
We are looking for a multi-racial, high-energy cast of
performers for this Tony Award winning musical.
Aurora / Spider Woman 25 - 50, mezzo soprano: The
central figure of Molina's fantasy world – a "vampy diva",
stunning, dazzling and comforting in all her roles except
for
that of the Spider Woman, who is treacherous and
frightening to Molina. Role requires strong acting, singing
and movement.
Molina 30 - 45, tenor: A homosexual man serving an 8-
year
sentence for deviant behavior, who worked as a window
dresser. Very smart and imaginative with a tremendous
ability to shape language into images. Must be a strong
actor and singer and must move well.
Valentin 25 - 35, high baritone: A man imprisoned for his
'fanatical' political views. Passionate and angry, Valentine
carries a deep hatred for the corruption in the Argentine
government and is not afraid to fight against those who
would oppress the working class. Deeply suspicious, he
trusts no one. Must be a very strong actor and singer
Marta 23 - 30, soprano: Valentines love. Earthy and
beautiful. Appears mostly in dreams, but retains her
earthiness. Must be a strong actor and singer.
Molina's Mother 50 - 65, contralto: Molina's loving
mother.
Careworn, but warm and loving. Years of worrying about
her
son have taken their toll on her appearance and health.
Must be strong actor and singer.
Warden 40 - 55, speaking role: A hard-edged
authoritarion.
Sharp and intelligent, he is not without a certain amount
of
charm which he uses to get the information he seeks.
Enjoys the position he holds. Strong actor needed.
Esteban and Marcos 25 - 45, speaking roles. Prison
Guards. Pretty funny and comedic, but can turn deadly on
a
dime. Must be comfortable with lifting bodies and
dragging
them around.
Gabriel 20 to 30, high baritone. Molina's current
infatuation. A waiter, handsome and straight. He is warm
and appealing, but not interested in Molina in the way
that
he wishes him to be. May double as prisoner.
Prisoners 20 - 45, all voices
An ensemble of 4-8 men who play prisoners that double
as
other characters. Looking for strong singers who can
move
well.

Director of
