Ann Arbor Civic Theatre will hold auditions for 'Hay Fever'

By AnnArbor.com Staff

Ann Arbor Civic Theatre announces auditions for its production of the delightful Noel Coward comedy "Hay Fever," directed by Wendy Wright.

Auditions take place Thursday, March 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 12 at 2 p.m. Callbacks, if needed, will take place Monday, March 14 at 7 p.m. Actors need attend only one of two regular auditions, but should be available for callbacks. All auditions take place at the A2CT Rehearsal Studio, 322 West Ann Street.

In "Hay Fever," an eccentric family invites four unwitting guests to their home in the English countryside. By the end of the weekend, the hapless guests are desperate to leave the flirting, feuding family any way they can.

"Hay Fever" has roles for 4 men and 5 women, ages 20-65. Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Those auditioning are asked to bring a resume and headshot, if available. A British accent is required for the production. No pre-registration is required. Production dates are May 5-8 at U-M’s Arthur Miller Theatre.

For further information and character descriptions, visit the audition page of the A2CT website or call 734-971-2228.

Hopefully they'll do a better job on this play than they have in the past. They keep trying and make a mess of it almost every time. With Bev Poole (RIP) gone, I wonder who they'll get for their authentic British accent. There's nothing worse than amateur Americans trying phony Victorian upper class British accents. Why don't they try American plays and leave Coward to the Brits and Canadians who can certainly do a better job of it.
