Auditions  for 
The Cemetery Club 
Announced

Auditions for MCP's The Cemetery Club
to Be Held in October

The story of The Cemetery Club concerns three Jewish widows and long-time friends who meet once a month for tea, then visit their husbands' graves. Things are going along swimmingly until the arrival of Sam, a shy butcher whose deceased wife is buried in the same cemetery as their husbands. The friendships become strained when a love triangle develops. A story seemingly about death, the show is in fact about relishing life, the loves, and the friendships along the way.
The production will be directed by Ray Lebowski, produced by Tess Catlin, and stage managed by Dana Davis.

Auditions will be held 
Sunday, October 27th, 
from 2:00 to 5:00 PM and
Monday, October 28th, from 6:30 to 9:00 PM
at the Mason Community Playhouse, 
5529 Mason Road in Mason.

Those interested in auditioning will need complete an audition form at auditions or bring a completed perform when they arrive. Just click here to download a form! 

Auditions are open; there is no need to indicate which date/time that you will be attending.

The show's characters include:

Doris (Age 60-75): Widow of Abe, the first of the three husbands to die. Totally devoted to her family, especially her deceased husband. Won’t even think of entering into another relationship. The most insistent about coming to the cemetery to visit the dead husbands.

Ida (Age 60-75): Widow of Murry, the second to pass away. Also devoted to her family. Hasn’t looked to enter into another relationship since he passed, but has her doubts about continuing this way. Often the referee between “no other man” Doris and “any decently off man” Lucille.

Lucille (Age 60-75): Widow of Harry, the last to pass away. Her husband was a tomcat who wasn’t home much. Always on the lookout (some would say prowl) for an available, financially successful, zesty man. Some would say aggressively so. Least interested in going to the cemetery, does it mainly to spend time with her friends.

Sam (Age 60-75): Widower of the late Merna. Successful kosher butcher, beginning to be interested in finding someone else but unsure of himself. Financially well enough off if not wealthy; money is not an issue for him. Nice, unassuming, but not weak. Lonely.

Mildred (Age 55-70): A widow on the prowl, interested mainly in the money a given man has. Not necessarily stupid, but not the brightest light in the menorah, either. Knows the other three women but does not travel in all the same circles.
