Gulfport Players Holding Auditions for Comedy - Kitchen Witches

The Gulfport Community Players are holding auditions Monday and Tuesday, December 15-16 to select the cast for the intensely funny comedy “The Kitchen Witches” running February 26 – March 15, 2015.

Patrick Brafford is directing this comedy written by Caroline Smith, and Eileen Navarro is the producer.

“The Kitchen Witches” whip up and dish out a feast of sarcasm, wit and nasty quipping as two mature cable TV cooking show hostesses heave the insults back and forth. Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle have hated each other for 30 years, and when the former school chums turned successful chefs are thrown together on a TV show called “The Kitchen Witches,” the haughty, hilarious hostility calls for hot mitts to handle!

The cast for this non-stop comedy includes roles for two women in their 50’s, one man in his 30’s and one young man or woman in his or her late teens to early 20’s:

Dolly Biddle – 50-55 – vivacious, outgoing, advice-giving, sometimes outrageous self-promoting cherub of a woman, whose love of food shows.

Isobel Lomax – aged 50-55 – hard-charging, bright, funny, highly successful, immaculately dressed Cordon Bleu graduate and Dolly’s worst enemy.

Stephen Biddle – 30-35 – easy-going, somewhat shy, people-pleasing TV show producer.

Rob or Robin – Male or Female – 18-24 – intern who’s on stage the whole play, has only three lines, but is the glue that holds it all together.

Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. at the Back Door Theater, 1619 49th Street South in Gulfport. Plan to arrive at 6:30 to complete an audition form. Photos will not be taken and resumes are not necessary.

The Gulfport Players encourage actors with all levels of experience to audition.

The play will run for three weeks - February 26 – March 15, 2015 - at the Catherine Hickman Theater in Gulfport.
