Also, be prepared to dance at any time during your audition (please dress appropriately for movement).

A Stroke of Inconvenience By Vaughn Taylor and Megan Boles
Performing Arts San Antonio (PASA)
Date: Saturday August 28th, 3PM to 6PM
Four generations of women in a "don't call me till your dead world". Ever notice that love is a four letter word. Family should be! Sons turn into their fathers, but women “morph” into a crazy combination of “mother generations” that are irritating because they are so recognizable. Women don't exactly turn into their mothers but rather, like curly hair which might skip a generation, personalities from the past show up in all of us, creating a dizzying combination of the good, the bad and the curly.

This play is about those generational curls and the insanity of four generations of women coming together for Christmas which, thank goodness, comes but once a year. As they gather to celebrate the holiday hidden secrets raise their ugly heads, and reveal the hilarious, foolish and painful mistakes of the past. That is until a little known female health issue brings all four face to face with mortality. The only thing worse than being with each other, is being without each other. Medical insurance and preventable issues throw gas on the fire as the term “just like mom” takes on new meaning This hilarious comedy takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, some you’ll recognize and the rest, well, just be thankful. (Copyright 2009WGA Registration – 2009)

Production Dates: 9-29 thru 10-17, Thursday, Friday, Saturday 7PM, Sunday Matinee. Cold Reading from the script
Address: 15717 San Pedro (281 frontage road near Brook Hollow)
Characters: ROSE – Nicknamed “Ran” she is the matriarch of the four generations of women in this piece. Eccentric in ways that explain themselves later, Ran is obsessed with concerns for her bodily functions. Married three times in an age when divorce didn’t happen she mothered children that were dysfunctional before there was a name for it. Somewhere between 75 years and death, Ran still gets around using a walker she may or may not need and has an ongoing battle with the thermostat.

IVY – At 55 years the eldest of Ran’s two daughters is damaged goods. She compensates with obsessive compulsive behavior to try to keep her world in order but at the same time is unable to finish things. This is reflected in the fact that she went to college for years but has never graduated. She also carries the burden of an ugly secret that Ran can no longer remember or has chosen to forget. Though she believes in equality of the sexes, women’s rights, racial equality and world peace she has realized that her party of choice only believes in these things when convenient and has become politically bitter and angry.

LILLIAN – Lil is Ivy’s 43 year old daughter. Her father, Ivy’s “husband”, died in a plane crash when Lillian was an infant, or so the story goes. She has a Ph.D. in Sociology but is completely lacking in compassion as well as common sense. She and her husband Ron run a book store, ”Read on Read Street”, and she hates dealing with the public. She is a recovering alcoholic and a “clutter queen” who is only organized when everything is a mess. In spite of education, marriage and child birth, which she likes to think have stabilized her emotionally, she harbors unresolved “father” issues.

IRIS – Iris is Lil’s daughter by her first marriage to Kevin. 19 years old she is a college student just into her second year. A bit naïve she has an odd connection to her great grandmother Ran but doesn’t see it. She is blithely unaware that Ran is not really her great grandmother’s name and that many of her own habits mirror Ran’s. Sensitive and beautiful she is not only the peace maker in this human menagerie she is the one to finish what Ivy leaves partly done. Yet she is oddly unable to see the “bigger” picture.

Helen's Most Favorite Day Romantic Fantasy by Mark Dunn
Boerne Community Theatre
Date: PLEASE NOTE AUDITION DATE CHANGE: Monday, September 20 and Tuesday, September 21, both at 7pm,
THE TIME - The action takes place yesterday, today, a different yesterday, an even more different yesterday, a very different today, then a somewhat different but also somewhat familiar today. Tomorrow will be addressed in another play. Be careful what you wish for... Love at "second sight" and a magic wish doom Helen to repeat the best day of her life ad infinitum, unless she can be rescued by those nearest and dearest to her in this romantic fantasy about love in three tenses, and dreams fulfilled and un. Helen's Most Favorite Day tells the story of forty-four year old Helen, for whom romantic love has been an infrequent caller. At a trip to the fairgrounds Helen is swept off her feet by a carnie named Jed who gives her one of the nicest, most special days of her life. He gives Helen another gift as well: a "wish" proffered to him by his friend, a mystic. Helen, playing along, "wishes" for the chance to repeat this special day forever. Her wish is granted. And with it comes the direst of unforeseen repercussions. Her family and friends rally to assist Helen by wishing themselves back to that same day from which they hope to extricate poor Helen, and to, in fact, save the universe.
