SYNOPSIS:
“Its aggressive high-octane style is like a shot of caffeine straight
in the veins” – Lyn Gardner, Guardian
Angel Cruz, a poor Puerto Rican, isn’t sure why he’s in jail after
shooting Reverend Kim, the born-again
Christian who brainwashed his best friend. ‘All I did was shoot him
in the ass’, he explains to his longsuffering lawyer Mary Hanrahan.
But when the Reverend dies in the hospital, Angel lands in solitary
confinement next to Lucius, a card-carrying Christian serial-killer.
Angel holds out that he was justified and
his lawyer’s sure that a hearts-and-minds appeal will get him off at
trial. But then, in a knife-edge final
discussion before Lucius is sent to the electric chair, Angel
extraordinarily finds that he too is turning
towards the faith that he has so far shunned, thus jeopardizing his
own case against the born-agains. This is
a truth-telling, cage-ratting play about faith, justice and
diminishing options within our American prisons.

Auditions for Encore at the Miners

Encore at the Miners announces auditions for the first shows of the 2007 season. 

 

You Can’t Take It With You- Cast: 9 men, 7 women (3 men extras) At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by the Kirbys, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores, however, though sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view. Meantime, Tony, who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her up, and in the end Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he happens in during a visit by an ex-Grand Duchess, earning her living as a waitress. No mention has as yet been made of the strange activities of certain members of the household engaged in the manufacture of fireworks; nor of the printing press set up in the parlor; nor of Rheba the maid and her friend Donald; nor of Grandpa's interview with the tax collector when he tells him he doesn't believe in the income tax.

 

Auditions- February 5, 2007 6:30pm

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS -  CATS features a cast of 30 + cat characters. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London's New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS's London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years. Based on the universally popular poetry of T.S. Eliot, CATS tells the story, in song and dance, of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer.
