concerned with appearances (hers and others'). Likes to
gossip.

AUDITIONS for the Barn production of THE CRUCIBLE next month!
AUDITIONS!
The Crucible
By Arthur Miller
Directed by David Martin
Assistant Direction, Set Design & Sound Design by
Steven James
Stage Management by DK Evenson
Lighting Design by Chuck Cline
Costume Design by Jenny Knecht
Props Design by Valerie Martin
AUDITIONS:
Thursday, March 2nd
from 7:00pm – 10:00pm
At St. Pius Church
55th and Woodson, Mission, KS
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
Auditions will be an open call and will consist of cold
readings from the script. Callbacks are by invitation only
on Monday, March 6th from 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Please come to auditions with as close an idea as you can
as to your availability for June and July. The rehearsal
period will be a fairly standard Sunday-Thursday, 7-10 pm
schedule. All efforts will be made to arrange a rehearsal
schedule that allows for actors only to be called when
needed, but please try to keep conflicts to a minimum.
No conflicts will be accepted during the final week of
rehearsal.
A NOTE ABOUT DIALECTS
All characters, with the exception of Tituba, are from the
New England area and should speak with a more proper
Americanized nearly British accent. No character should
have a Boston accent, nor should they speak in full on
British accents. The best way to think about it would be
to think of an American Shakespearean actor aiming for a
regionless dialect.
If you have any questions about the process for this show
or expectations or to arrange an alternative audition time
should those dates not work for you or anything at all,
please contact David Martin at dmartin922@gmail.com.
PRODUCTION DATES:
July 14 - 30, 2017
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm
Sundays at 2:00pm
Industry Night is Monday, July 24th at 7:30pm
All performances take place at…
The Barn Players Theatre
6219 Martway in Mission, KS
SYNOPSIS:
The Crucible is a dramatized and partially fictionalized
story of the Salem witch trials that took place in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony during the late 1600's. It
focuses on accusations, trials, heresay vs. evidence, and
character assassination. This production will take those
elements and paint a broader picture of persecution over
the entire history of witchcraft along with historical
moments of those wrongfully accused. Great attempts
will be made to bring the audience in as pseudo-jury
members for the trials portrayed within the play.
CAST BREAKDOWN (all ages listed refer to playable age
and not actual age):
LEAD ROLES
John Proctor
A local farmer known for his independence and temper.
He is married to Elizabeth Proctor who is accused of
witchcraft by Abigail Williams, in part because Abigail and
John had a brief affair. John is also accused of witchcraft
and eventually sentenced to hang. (Male – late 30's-40's)
Elizabeth Proctor
A quietly strong frontier wife who is honest to a fault and
is accused of witchcraft by Abigail Williams. Married to
John, she is spared the death penalty due to the fact she
is pregnant. (Female – late 30's-40's)
Abigail Williams
Prior to the start of the play, worked as a maid for the
Proctors until she was fired by Elizabeth under suspicion
of an affair with John. The ringleader of the young girls
in terms of creating the witchcraft scare in Salem.
Reverend Parris' niece. (Female – 20's, young looking)
Reverend John Hale
A young minister from nearby Beverly, MA who is called in
due to his knowledge of witchcraft. At first, Hale
attempts to carry out the court's wishes, though he later
believes the entire situation to be false and fights for the
victims of false accusations. (Male – 30+)
SUPPORTING ROLES
Reverend Samuel Parris
The minister of Salem. He is obsessed with keeping up
his good reputation and assumes that anyone who does
not attend church regularly or fails to recognize his piety
is someone not to be trusted. (Male – 40's)
Mary Warren
Replaced Abigail Williams as maid to the Proctors. She is
alternatingly weak and strong when faced with pressure
from others. She is a mostly sympathetic character who
seems to simply be in over her head. (Female – 20's,
young looking)
Deputy Governor Thomas Danforth
The chief judge of the court, he is power hungry and
believes in wielding his power over any and all who are
accused. According to Arthur Miller, he is the true villain
of the play for he should know better than to let the trials
proceed. (Male – 45+)
Judge John Hathorne
A judge of the court who essentially believes Abigail
against all evidence to the contrary. (Male – 40+)
Giles Corey
A close friend to the Proctor family, his wife is falsely
accused of witchcraft. He is frequently accused of
various crimes himself, so he knows the law. He may
resemble a town drunk, but he is smart, honest, strong,
and outspoken. Must be visibly strong. (Male – late
60's+)
Tituba
Slave of the Parris family, Tituba came to Salem from
Barbados. She has knowledge of a mystical nature and
helps the girls become infatuated with magic. This
character will speak in a Barbados dialect. (Female,
African American – any age)
Rebecca Nurse
Well respected and pious, Rebecca is accused of both
witchcraft and infanticide by Ann Putnam – Rebecca had
worked as a nursemaid for Ann. Married to Francis.
(Female – 60+)
Francis Nurse
Tries incredibly hard to clear his wife's name and his
other friends who have been accused. Married to
Rebecca. (Male – 60+)
Ezekiel Cheever
Clerk of the court responsible for crafting and carrying
out warrants for arrest. (Male – any age)
Betty Parris
The young daughter of Reverend Parris, the play opens
with her being ill. This sets off belief that she was
caused illness by witchcraft. (Female – 15ish, must look
younger than the other girls)
Thomas Putnam
A rich landowner trying to use accusations of witchcraft
to buy up land cheaply from those convicted. (Male – late
30's-40's)
Susanna Walcott
One of the group of girls experimenting with magic.
(Female – 20's, young looking)
Mercy Lewis
One of the group of girls experimenting with magic.
(Female – 20's, young looking)
Ann Putnam/Sarah Good/Martha Corey (these three roles
will be combined)
Ann accuses Rebecca Nurse after seeing seven of her
children die shortly after birth. Sarah is essentially
accused for being strange. Martha (who we never see)
has some questionable books about witchcraft and is
eventually sentenced to die. (Female – late 30's-40's)
Marshal George Herrick
A heavy drinker, Marshal Herrick carries out warrants and
guards the inmates under arrest. (Male – any age)
NOTE – The Role of Hopkins has been cut.

SYNOPSIS: Josh Baskin
is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival, he makes a
wish to the Zoltar machine to become "big". To his shock,
his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward
beginning, Josh is forced to do "adult" things like getting
a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers there's
much more to being an adult than he's bargained for, and
learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own
time.

ESU Theatre Presents: A Christmas Carol
30 November 2016
PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release
Emporia State University Theatre presents live
radio broadcast of "A Christmas Carol".
Emporia State University Theatre students and
faculty will perform a radio adaptation of A
Christmas Carol, the timeless classic by
Charles Dickens, on December 10 at 7:00 pm in
the Karl C. Bruder Theatre. The performance
will be available to hear on the radio or
streamed online, but it can also be watched
live in the theatre. A suggested donation of $5
can be made at the door for the live
performance; donations will go toward theatre
scholarships. The performance will be broadcast
live on KISS 103.1 FM Radio.
The radio adaptation of the play was adapted by
Assistant Professor Dan Matisa. On the process
of adapting the play for radio, Matisa said, "I
loved re-reading the original Charles Dickens
story and adapting it for radio! I didn't look
at any other stage versions or adaptations of
the story—just the original Dickens novella.
Nearly every word we say will be from the pen
of Charles Dickens… My aim at the outset was to
stay as faithful as I could to the words of
Dickens, while getting the play to an hour in
length."
This will be the first radio performance
presented by the ESU Theatre Department in
collaboration with KISS 103.1. It is also KISS
103.1's first live radio play. ESU Theatre
students performed a radio adaptation of Frank
Capra's It's a Wonderful Life in 2009, however
that performance was not broadcast over the
radio.
Cameron Reynolds, ESU Theatre student and KISS
103.1 radio personality is "super excited for
the opportunity to produce this radio play.
Radio and theatre have been my passion for my
entire college career and I am overjoyed to
combine both of those to do something that is
not only great for the community, but also
allows me to give back to ESU Theatre."
Performers include Matisa (as Scrooge), Jim
Bartruff, Lindy Bartruff, Taylor Galloway,
Chris Lohkamp and Jennifer Newell. Student
performers include Bailey Carter, Tyler Lang,
Ryan Howerton, Justin Scheck and Nathan Short.
Music will be provided by Sue Seeman and
Madison Schultz. Before the program goes live
there will be a Christmas carol sing-along.
People of all ages are encouraged to listen on
air or attend the live performance on December
10 at 7:00 pm in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre in
King Hall.
CableOne is the corporate sponsor for the
broadcast and Brickyard 20 Ale House will host
an after party where "The Wanted" will be
playing live. The cover charge at the door will
also support ESU Theatre scholarships.

Don Vincenzo Maranzano, an Italian-
American "businessman", invites you to his
engagement party. He is marrying Francesca
DeLorossa, a lady Don who leads another family.
Before dinner can start, a Don is murdered. A
notorious assassin, known only as "The Bishop", is

A Saint Valentine's Day Murder Mystery or Rubout
at Uncle Vinny by Greg Marino: Jan 8: 2 pm Sun
Don Vincenzo Maranzano, an Italian-
American "businessman", invites you to his
engagement party. He is marrying Francesca
DeLorossa, a lady Don who leads another family.
Before dinner can start, a Don is murdered. A
notorious assassin, known only as "The Bishop", is
introduced and an investigation commences. It
seems
that several of the Don's associates had a motive
for murder. This show makes you a laughter you
can't
refuse. Directed by Greg Marino. Johnson County

EnArts announces The Toymaker and Me
EnArts
The Toymaker and Me by Marc Wayne: Nov 17-18, 22-
23: 7 pm; Nov 20: 7:30 pm
The Toymaker and Me tells the moving story of a
precocious orphan girl and a grumpy old toymaker
who in spite of repeated rejection and great
disappointment find the secret that gives life to
broken things. When a gift meets a need, sparks fly
and life happens. In Marc Wayne's The Toymaker and
Me, that life comes in surprisingly moving ways.
This premier production of Marc Wayne's The
Toymaker and Me is family-friendly and appropriate
for all ages. It may be especially appealing to
kids, as it focuses on a 12-year-old orphan girl
who in the process of discovering her unique
giftedness (her "spark") helps Mr. Baker, a grumpy
old toymaker, rediscover the joy and meaning of
life.
(Suitable for Everyone)
