Please email info@mixedrevues.com or join the Mixed Revues Facebook page event to confirm your audition space. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. A one-minute contemporary dramatic monologue is optional.

Note: This play contains full nudity and strong language. No nudity is required for the above roles, but Coulmier’s and Madame Royer-Collard’s role include strong sexual content and Madame R-C does have one “suggestively” clad scene. Many actors will take this as a plus.

Audition Notice: Private Eyes

The Fern Theatre Company
Private Eyes by Steven Dietz

The Fern Theatre Company announces auditions for Private Eyes by Steven Dietz on Monday, May 28th 6-10pm by appointment. Please bring 2 copies of you headshot/resume to the auditions. Auditions will consist of cold reading.

Performs August 10-25 in the Blackbox Theatre at 7Stages in L5P. Rehearsals to begin July 9th. A stipend will be offered.

Private Eyes is a comedy of suspicion in which nothing is ever quite what it seems. Matthew’s wife, Lisa, is having an affair with Adrian, a British theatre director. Or perhaps the affair is part of the play being rehearsed. Or perhaps Matthew has imagined all of it simply to have something to report to Frank, his therapist. And, finally, there is Cory-the mysterious woman who seems to shadow the others-who brings the story to its surprising conclusion. Or does she? The audience itself plays the role of detective in this hilarious relationship thriller about love, lust and the power of deception.

Cast:
Adrian: A British man in his 30s
Lisa: A woman in her 30’s
Cory: A woman in her 20s-30s (must be able to do a British Accent)
The roles of Matthew and Frank have already been cast.
