AUDITIONS – Run For Your Wife -- Swift Creek Mill Theatre

​

Tuesday, April 9, 7 P.M. – Open call, by appointment

Wednesday, April 10, 7 P.M. – Callbacks, by invitation

​

Director Tom Width is seeking a cast of 8 actors for Swift Creek Mill Theatre’s upcoming production of Ray Cooney’s landmark farce about a London cab driver (John Smith) who has worked out a meticulous schedule for secretly maintaining two separate households and two wives.  When John gets mugged one night, his secrets are in danger of exposure and hilarity ensues!  Mr. Cooney brilliantly crafts a script in which two separate locations occupy the same space, simultaneously, onstage!  Sounds like it couldn’t possibly work, but it does – to great effect!

​

The roles:

          John Smith, 30-45.  London cab driver.  Bigamist.

          Mary Smith, 30-40.  John’s wife.

          Barbara Smith, 25-35.  John’s other wife.

          Detective Sergeant Troughton, 25-40, an eager investigator.

          Detective Sergeant Porterhouse, 30-45, seasoned investigator.

          Stanley Gardner, 35-50, the nosy upstairs neighbor.

          Bobby Franklin, any age, a flamboyant dress designer.

          Reporter, any age, cameo.
