North Coast Stages and Auditions

A busy weekend ahead… The show not yet mentioned here is the North Coast Prep production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, which begins tonight (Thursday) at 8 PM in Gist Hall Theatre, continuing Friday and Saturday. Then next weekend, the Prep players present Twelfth Night at the same location.

Now to reinterate: this Saturday, Redwood Curtain presents Zounds!, a staged radio event a la A Prairie Home Companion (at 8), along with drinks and dinner (at 5:30) at the Wharfinger Building. Clink Rebik and James Floss are co-directors. You can also hear it, oddly enough, on the radio—KHUM to be exact.

Dell’Arte is presenting a one weekend reprise of Golden State, their Californicated version of Moliere's The Miser starring Joan Schirle, before it goes to LA for a month. It's in the Carlo Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8.

Ferndale Rep begins its run of 12 Angry Men with a preview on Thursday and opening night on Friday at 8. North Coast Rep continues Marat/Sade, which I review very favorably in the Journal (and will review here a little more extensively on Friday.) Barry Blake has a less enthusiastic review at the T-S. (This week's Northern Lights doesn't have anything online at the moment, but using the 5 Cookie system I've devised for him, I'd say Barry gave this one 3 Cookies.) Betti Trauth reviews it positively in the Humboldt Beacon.

Auditions

Auditions will be held at the Ferndale Repertory Theatre on Tuesday Feb. 5th between 6:30 pm and 8pm. Director Gary Franklin will be doing two, half-hour stories performed live on stage and simulcast on KHUM Radio. The first story is an episode of “The Shadow” called “Silent Avenger”, originally broadcast in 1938 and starring Orson Wells. Second will be another famous story, which also starred Wells, called “The Hitchhiker” which first aired in 1946.

Gary is looking for 3-5 women, 20-50 years, and approx. 4-6 men of 20-60 years. We will be reading from script. There will be about 8 rehearsals, with performance on Feb. 21st.at 7:30P.M. For more information, please call Gary at (707) 786-5483 X 207 or email Gary at mailto:%7B7EA9374B-7961-4D9F-techdirector@ferndale-rep.org

And don't forget the auditions for Ferndale's production of Hair, this weekend.
