The Garrettsville Curtains up Theatre is proud to announce auditions for the July production of “Parlor Games” are being held Monday, April 23 and Friday, April 27, 2018 at 7pm in the James A. Garfield’s high school, choir room. Please bring a memorized monologue.
Practical joker Mort McNulty hosts his own wake so that he can hear what people will say about him after he’s dead — before he’s dead. Mort’s wife, Tricia, gets unwillingly drawn into the action and apologetically tries to convince everyone that Mort is playing another joke. We meet a variety of wake-goers — some there on purpose, some not — who eventually, with the right amount of suggestion and imagination, convince themselves that Mort is dead and Tricia is in denial. The mistaken identities, chases, and jokes with jokes within jokes culminate in Tricia turning Mort’s wake into a surprise birthday party as she tries to teach her husband a lesson about practical jokes.
“Parlor Games” will run July 20, 21, 22, 27 and 28, 2018.For questions contact Director, Jackie Loreta-Rinearson at rinearson05@frontier.com.
