Auditions Announced for 'Sex' at Phoenix Stage Company

Press release

Phoenix Stage Company announces auditions for our production of SEX by Mae West.

Auditions will be held on Monday, May 12 & Tuesday, May 13 from 7-9pm at the theater located at 133 Main Street in Oakville, Ct.

We are seeking 3 Women and 6 Men. All roles are open. The production is directed by Ed Bassett with Stage Manager Lori Poulin. Performance dates are July 12 thru 27, 2025. Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Rehearsals will begin in June and are scheduled for Sunday 3-5pm, Tuesday and Thursday evenings 7-9pm at the theater.

Originally produced in 1926, Sex is famous for being the play that landed 20s starlet Mae West in prison. Written by, and starring, West herself, the original Broadway run of the show was shut down for obscenity, and West spent 10 days in jail because of it.

Sex tells the story of Margy Lamont, a successful sex worker in Montreal’s red-light district. As she makes her way through the world, she makes it clear that her story is not that of a damsel in distress, but rather that of a woman looking to take control of her own life.

Sides will be available. For more information or assistance, please visit our website at www.phoenixstagecompany.org or call 860-417-2505.
