Bickford Auditions--Equity/nonEquity

The summer slowdown is in full effect on the Jersey Stages scene, as most professional theaters are dark for the summer. But new seasons loom, so I'm expecting a slew of audition notices. Performers should check back regularly for updates--I'll post as soon as I get.
Also, we run an auditions column in the Courier every week in the Kicks section, so don't say you would have auditioned if you knew about it.

Cause we told you, all you Olivias and Oliviers.

Starting with the Bickford, whose info follows.


Bickford Theatre will hold auditions for the comedy, The Owl & The Pussycat by Bill Manhoff. Auditions for Equity members will be held Friday July 27 from 9:30am to 1:30pm at the AEA Audition Center, 165 W. 46th Street, NYC, also Saturday July 28 from 10am to 1:30pm at the Bickford Theatre, 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown. Sign up both days is at 9am. Auditions for non-Equity members will be held Saturday, July 28 from 2pm to 5pm. Artistic Director Eric Hafen will direct.
Character breakdown: Doris: African-American woman; 25-35; prostitute who claims to be a model/actress; feisty, alert; protected at every human point by a thick shell; yet possesses a warm heart and soul; Felix: 30-40; bookstore clerk who claims to be a novelist; highly organized; pseudo-intelligence; his superficial emotions reflect his unsuccessful writing
