Synopsis
The play features the characters of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, who meet at a bar called the Lapin Agile in Montmartre, Paris in 1904, shortly before both become world famous. According to Martin, “the play attempts to explain, in a light-hearted way, the similarity of the creative process involved in great leaps of imagination in art and science."

There are four female roles:

Germaine - age 25 to 40 (large role)
Suzanne - around 20 years old (medium role)
The Countess - age 25 to 40 (small role)
The Admirer - young woman (small role)

and seven male roles:

Pablo Picasso - age 23, Spanish accent (large role)
Albert Einstein - age 25, German accent (large role)
Freddy - age 35 to 55 (large role)
Gaston - age over 60 (medium role)
The Visitor - age 25 to 40, American accent (medium role)
Sagot - age 40 to 60 (small role)
Schmendiman - age 20 to 30 (small role)

The indicated age is that of the character. Actors should consider their apparent age rather than their real age. While most of the characters are supposed to be French, there are no accent requirements except where stated.

To schedule your audition, please contact the director, Jeremy Zeegers at zeegers.jeremy@gmail.com.

Steel Magnolias will be directed by Christopher Flores and produced in March, 2018 at Centre Culturel Jacques Frank in Saint Gilles.
​Synopsis
The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where “all the ladies who are anybody" come to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle, the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy offers shampoos and free advice to her best clients and best friends. This alternately hilarious and touching play invites us into the gossipy world of southern women in a small-town beauty parlor. But above all, it explores the universal strength, compassion, and resilience underlying the antic banter of its very human characters.
 
Truvy - 40 year old owner of a small town beauty shop
Annelle - Very shy 20 year old hairdresser
Shelby - Approximately 25 year old woman with diabetes
M’Lynn - 50 year old mother of Shelby
Clairee - 60 year old widow of the former mayor of Chinquapin
Ouiser - (pronounced Weezer): Wealthy and jaded woman in her 60s
​
There can be some flexibility in the ages of the characters, where appropriate. But it is essential that actors be able to do a convincing southern American accent. You will be asked to prepare a short monologue from the play and scenes will be provided for you to read at the audition. Rehearsals will begin in September and the production will be in early March.
 
Please confirm your audition by emailing the director Christopher Flores at flores.christopher@gmail.com indicating the date you will attend and the character(s) you wish to audition for.
