Those auditioning need to prepare 16 measures of an upbeat song and a comedic monologue.<br />Characters in "Hammer Spade":<br />Hammer Spade:   Shamus, private eye.   Hammer is 25-50 years old, dresses in nice clothes and yet manages to look slovenly all the time.  He is a blend of Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon and Elliott Gould in The Long Goodbye.  Hammer has a dark shadow over his past that haunts him to this day.  <br />Artemis Hunter:   The personal assistant/mistress of Stanislaus Steel.  She’s youngish – 20s or early 30s.   She’s a smart woman in a tough situation.  Cold enough to plot a murder but warm enough to try and protect the friends around her<br />Stanislaus Steel:   (Played by Harry, a lavish actor)   Steel was a mountain of a man -- intimidating both physically and in personality.  He started as an explosives expert and charmed his way into marriage with a wealthy heiress, Parker Steel. Stanislaus Steel is dead as the of the play opens, so a small, young, fey out of work actor named Harry will be his stand-in. Harry likes performing in musicals and doesn’t really ‘get’ what it’s like being a big, burly, construction company owner.  <br />Parker Poise-Steel:   The formerly wealthy heiress is – was -- married to Steel.   Parker was once a vivacious, extroverted, lively woman.  Steel has cowed her into a timid mouse – at least around him.  <br />Standish Poise:   Younger brother of Parker.  A playboy but also just a lost little boy.  He’s insecure, but tries to be bigger and braver than he actually is.  Not terribly bright, either. <br />Beryl Golddigger:   A corrupt U.S. Senator.  She is a tough woman in her 30s to 50s.  She lines her pockets by fixing government construction contracts in exchange for kickbacks.<br />For more information, call 801-569-1482 or go to <a href="http://www.huntmysteries.com" target="_blank">www.huntmysteries.com</a>. http://www.backstageutah.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283646345/0#0 The Green Room/Now Playing http://www.backstageutah.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1283646345/0#0 Sun, 5 Sep 2010 00:25:45 GMT <center><i>Midvale Main Street Theatre presents</i><br /><b>One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest</b><br />By Dale Wasserman<br />Based on the Novel by Ken Kesey</center><br /><br /><center>Directed by Mike Hardy & Tammy Ross</center><br /><br />One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962) is a novel set in an Oregon asylum and serves as a study of the institutional process and the human mind.

As with past festivals, the featured shorts vary in style from realistic to absurd; they also vary in mood from hysterical to tense to poignant.<br /><br />In <b><i>Overexposure</i></b>, written by Dave Sanderson and directed by Rob Luckau for Proletariat Theatre, a mother (Kathy Lee) is shocked and dismayed when she discovers her daughter’s (Jessa Brocklebank) new apartment is actually a small stage, with an actual audience privy to her every move.<br /><br />A similarly-themed <b><i>Stand Up</i></b>, written by George Plautz and directed by Jacob Bruner for Holladay Arts, features actors (Jeremy Jonsson, Michelle Masefield) and their talking couch (Matt Whittaker) transcending theatre conventions and calling out the playwright (Bijan. J. Hosseini).<br /><br />A teacher (Barb Gandy) and a mother (Gwen de Veer) share their perspectives on interacting with and raising a young boy (Bijan J. Hosseini) with a unique affliction in Greg Near’s <b><i>The Mysterious, Happy life of Brown Bag</i></b>.

Over the past several months, a group of playwrights (led by Megan Crivello) met together and crafted short plays that are contemporary updates of Aesop’s fables. The transportation of these classic tales to modern times reveals the truth and longevity of each of their morals. Under the direction of <b>Mark Fossen</b>, a troupe of actors (Julie Benedict, JJ Peeler, Jesse Peery, Missy Hill, and Jeffrey Owen) plays multiple roles throughout six fables, with narration and exposition offered by Tom Goldsmith. The Fables Project features the writing of Dave Sanderson (<b><i>Steve Scorpio and the Frogg Sisters</i></b>), Brandon Oveson (<b><i>All Hail the Bean King</i></b>), L. Isabella Iasella (<b><i>Shake-up; A Peacock Revolution</i></b>), Megan Crivello (<b><i>Skin Deep</i></b>), Jim Martin (<b><i>Panopticon</i></b>), and George Plautz (<b><i>To Take You To The Heights</i></b>).

Each edition of Broadway Kidz has had a different theme. The “Magic” in this year’s show comes from kids who imagine magical things from ordinary objects.  One little girl has difficulty playing with the other kids, but her imagination proves to be the best of all as she conjures up the gods and goddesses of earth, air, water, night and fire.  Led by magical creatures, she has adventures playing in the mud, in nightmares, underwater and outer space.<br /><br />Tickets are $6 each, with discounts available for larger groups.
