AUDITIONS COMING TO BAS IN 2024
Auditions for a New play!!
SHIVA IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Be
a
part
of
a
World
Premiere!
BAS
is
producing
a
new
play
by
local
playwright,
Daphne
White,
entitled
"Shiva in the Garden of Eden"
First
the
meaning
of
the
word:
Shiva
is
the
week-
long
mourning
period
in
Judaism
for
first-degree
relatives following the burial.
Now
the
Synopsis:
Shiva
in
the
Garden
of
Eden
is
the
story
of
an
immigrant
family
unraveling
after
the
death
of
an
unhinged
matriarch.
Can
the
center
hold
when
the
mother’s
ghost
barges
in
and
breaks
things?
Can
a
husband
risk
coming
out
of
his
wife’s
shadow
even
after
her
death?
And
can
the
black
sheep
daughter
forgive
the
sister
who
betrayed
her?
Shiva
explores
the
price
we
pay
for
being
true
to ourselves in a family that rewards only loyalty.

AUDITIONING NOW!
Bay Area Stage Productions is holding Auditions for
THE FOREIGNER
Directed by Trey Reeves
The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia
—the
evil
plans
of
a
sinister,
two-faced
minister
and
his
redneck
associate;
the
fact
that
the
minister’s
pretty
fiancée
is
pregnant;
and
many
other
damaging
revelations
made
with
the
thought
that
Charlie
doesn’t
understand
a
word
being
said.
Nonstop
hilarity!

Character Breakdown:
Froggy
Lesueur:
A
British
military
demolitions
expert
who
occasionally
conducts
field
operations
in
rural
Georgia,
Froggy
is
Charlie’s
caring
friend
and
devises
the
scheme
that protects Charlie from having to interact with the other guests at the lodge.
Charlie
Baker:
A
science-fiction
copy
editor
for
a
book
publishing
house,
Charlie
is
a
pathologically
shy
little
man
who
has
a
very
unfaithful
wife,
no
personality
that
he
can
think
of,
and
a
need
for
peace
and
quiet.
He
has
accompanied
his
friend,
Froggy
to a Georgia fishing lodge much against his own better judgment.
Betty
Meeks:
The
proprietor
of
a
Georgia
fishing
lodge,
Betty
is
past
seventy,
a
widow,
and
a
long-time
friend
of
Froggy.
She
is
pleasant,
wise
in
some
ways,
naïve
in
others.
She
is
a
good-hearted,
generous,
“down-home”
Southerner
who
speaks
the
hardy local dialect.
Reverend
David
Marshall
Lee:
Neither
the
stereotypical
pallid
young
divinity
student
nor
the
hearty
backslapping
evangelist,
he
appears
to
be
a
regular
guy,
one
that
you
would
like
to
have
on
your
side.
He
is
not
what
he
seems,
however,
and
he
is
clearly
the
brains
behind
the
plot
he
engages
in
with
Owen
Musser
to
get
control
of
Betty
Meeks’s fishing lodge and Catherine Simms’s fortune.
Catherine
Simms:
The
very
pregnant
and
potentially
rich
fiancée
of
the
Reverend
Lee,
she
can
be
a
formidable
force
and
occasionally
almost
too
much
for
the
good
reverend
to
handle.
She
has
a
ready
wit
and
a
sharp
tongue.
She
badly
needs
someone
to
talk
to,
and,
since
Charlie
doesn’t
bother
giving
advice,
he
suits
her
needs perfectly. Catherine is Ellard’s sister.
Owen
Musser:
The
Tilghman
County
property
inspector,
Owen
is
a
two-tattoo
man:
one
of
them,
he
may
have
gotten
while
drunk
or
on
a
dare;
two
of
them
means
he
went
back
for
more.
Beware
of
a
two-tattoo
man.
Owen
and
the
Reverend
Lee
are
cooking
up
a
plot
to
condemn
Betty’s
lodge
so
that
it
can
be
bought
for
their
own
nefarious
purposes.
Owen,
we
find,
is
the
absolute
stereotype
of
an
ill-bred
southern Klansman.
**Ellard
Simms:**Catherine’s
brother,
Ellard
is
an
agreeable
young
man
who
is
a
bit
slow-witted.
He
works
as
a
sort
of
handyman
for
Betty
and
needs
a
considerable
bit
of
instruction
in
his
tasks,
but
may
not
be
as
dull
as
he
seems.
He
is
due
to
inherit
a
share
of
the
Simms
family
fortune,
unless
the
Reverend
Lee
can
convince
Catherine
that
Ellard
is
too
stupid
to
manage
money,
or
anything
else,
on
his
own.
Ellard
befriends Charlie and even decides to teach him to speak English.
**Various
Townspeople:**Edith
Eliot,
Amy
Fassberg,
Leah
Hocking,
Bryan
Johnson,
Andy Mellon, Steve Peck, Theresa Plikaitis, Robert Wells.
