| plot summary |
| Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a "dry" spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney's plan, which he devises with his wife's help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness, and with such an abundance of thrills and laughter, that audiences will be held enthralled until the final, startling moments of the play. |

Three witches decide to confront the great Scottish general Macbeth on his victorious return from a war between Scotland and Norway. The Scottish king, Duncan, decides that he will confer the title of the traitorous Cawdor on the heroic Macbeth. Macbeth, and another General called Banquo, happen upon the three witches. The witches predict that he will one day become king. He decides that he will murder Duncan. Macbeth's wife agrees to his plan. He then murders Duncan assisted by his wife who smears the blood of Duncan on the daggers of the sleeping guards. A nobleman called Macduff discovers the body. Macbeth kills the guards insisting that their daggers smeared with Duncan's blood are proof that they committed the murder. The crown passes to Macbeth. More murders ensue and the bloodied ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth. Lady Macbeth's conscience now begins to torture her and she imagines that she can see her hands covered with blood. She commits suicide. Macduff kills Macbeth and becomes king. |

| plot summary |
| A mother and her six daughters portray this popular and moving comedic/dramatic story of pioneer life taken from the handwritten diaries of women traveling westward in covered wagon days. The 16 scenes capture the beauty, terror and joy, the harsh challenges and heartfelt rewards of frontier life. Scenes depict the lot of women on the frontier: girlhood, marriage, childbirth, parties, twisters, fire, illness and death. Along the way there is love, warmth and lively humor. The music and dances have a country/folkish flavor. This musical has been called “a theatrical masterstoke which will linger in the mind and memory long after the house lights have dimmed.” |
| what to bring |
| Be prepared to sing a folk song or a hymn (no broadway, jazz or pop). Bring sheet music in a key that works for you. Bring resume, mug/head shot. |
| types needed |
| Six daughters between 17 and 40ish will be cast. All ages welcome. This being an ensemble, all daughters and the mother have equal parts and appear in 12–14 of the 16 scenes. The stage will be “in the round”. The more individual and vivid each daughter is the better. True, legitimate voices are required. Very little vibrato works best. Harmonies are rich and dances will be lively. Belt voices not necessary, but sufficient vocal power, confidence and clarity a must. The mother (Sarah – 60’s) has been pre-cast. |

| plot summary |
| Pulitzer Prize Winner Thornton Wilder crafted this groundbreaking satiric fantasy that follows the extraordinary Antrobus family down through the ages, from the time of "The War," surviving flood, fire, pestilence, locusts, the ice age, the pox, and the double feature, a dozen subsequent wars and as many depressions. Ultimately, they are the stuff of which heroes and fools are made. Their survival is a theatrical testament of faith in humanity. |
