State Fair

tysonarmstrong — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:21:16 +0000

State Fair Audition Information

State Fair is a simple, unassuming but lively musical set in De Moines, Iowa in August 1946. A farming family of 4, mum, dad, son & daughter, take their produce to the state fair (agricultural show). The parents win prizes, the 2 kids fall in love and that’s it! No dramas, no pathos, just family life! This production will be directed by Wendy Glover.

The music is by Rogers & Hammerstein and is full of 4 part harmony, as well as lots of “swing” tunes. Songs you may know include “It Might As Well Be Spring”, “All I Owe Ioway” and It’s a Grand Night for Singing”.

There are 6 main characters and many supporting roles (17 at least). As with all our shows, everybody will need to dance at least a little bit and all the leads will have to dance a lot!

6 Main Characters

Abel Frake—farmer – 40+ – salt of the earth, deeply in love

Melissa Frake—farmer’s wife—40+ – as above

Wayne Frake—farmer’s son—20+ – naive, inexperienced

Emily Arden—singer/dancer—25+ – worldly, sophisticated

Margy Frake—farmer’s daughter—19+ – naïve yet strong

Pat Gilbert—journalist—25+ – cynical, fun-loving

Info Nights—March 29 & 31 at the theatre 7.30

Auditions—April 7 & 8 (poss 9th) by appointment

Rehearsals will be Mon & Wed & some Sundays

Season—3 weekends starting June 18

Wendy has a great team working with her including Peter Copeland as MD and Pauline Young as Executive Choreographer. Please phone Wendy if you have any other questions on 4257 4016.
