The City of Prattville’s Way Off Broadway Theatre (WOBT) is set to hold auditions for its upcoming performance of Boeing Boeing by Marc Camoletti, translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans. The production is directed by WOBT’s own, Melissa Strickland. The show will open September 19 and run through October 6, 2024.
Auditions will take place at 203 W. 4th Street in Prattville—the home of WOBT and the city’s Cultural Arts Department. The theatre is excited to have a collaboration of new and returning talent tell a hilarious story and bring smiles to their community. Auditions will be held Sunday, July 14 at 5 p.m. and Monday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m.
Boeing Boeing is a fast-paced physical comedy that tells the exploits of American bachelor Bernard and his lovely female flight attendants. Three flight attendants, from three different countries; and they all believe they’re engaged to Bernard! In the past, Bernard has been able to juggle his fiancés’ flight schedules. The situation quickly changes and all of the women end up at his apartment on the same day. Bernard (with help from his bewildered friend Robert) struggled to keep them from learning the truth. Will the lying lothario be able to keep up this charade, or will a disaster occur?
This show offers roles for three women and two men. Available roles include:
Bernard: An American playboy living in Paris, who is happily engaged to three different women, none of whom know about the others.
Gloria: An American airline stewardess, who is engaged to Bernard. She is a go-getter, and works for TWA.
Gabriella: An Italian airline stewardess, who is also engaged to Bernard. She is passionate and feisty and works for Alitalia.
Gretchen: A German airline stewardess, who is also engaged to Bernard. She is strong and beautiful and works for Lufthansa.
Berthe: Bernard’s French housekeeper, who is always exhausted and exasperated.
Robert: An old-time friend of Bernard’s from Wisconsin, who shows up unexpectedly at Bernard’s Paris home.
Volunteers are always welcome for technical crew (sounds, lighting, stage management, etc.), costuming and alterations, and concessions. For more information about auditions and volunteer opportunities, call 334-595-0850.
