Cottage Theatre announces auditions for Shakespeare's 12th Night

Cottage Grove, OR — Cottage Theatre will hold auditions for Shakespeare's comedy 12th Night on Sunday, December 7 and Monday, December 8, at 6:30 pm both evenings. Auditions will be held at the theatre, located at 700 Village Drive in Cottage Grove. A comic "triángulo de amore" set in 1950s Havana, 12th Night is the first production of Cottage Theatre's 2015 season. The show opens for a three-weekend run on January 30, 2015.

12th Night is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, full of droll wit, cross-dressing, and mistaken identities. “If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.” The lovely Viola, shipwrecked in Havana, Cuba in the 1950s, and believing her twin brother to be dead, dresses up like a man to make her way in a new land. She becomes a messenger for Mafioso Don Orsino, who bids her plead his case of love to the alluring Olivia. Unfortunately, Olivia falls in love with the disguised Viola, while at the same time Viola falls in love with Orsino. Along the way, Viola’s lost twin emerges from the sea and we are entertained by Feste, who is something of a cross between Frank Sinatra and Ricky Ricardo. 

Approximately 6 women and 7 men will be cast in this production directed by Tony Rust. 12th Night will run for 11 performances from January 30 - February 15, 2015. 
                         
These auditions are open to any interested actors and no appointment is necessary, nor is past Shakespeare experience a prerequisite. Actors are asked to prepare a 1-2 minute Shakespeare monologue and come prepared to read from the script. More detailed audition information is available at www.cottagetheatre.org or by calling Cottage Theatre at 541-942-8001.

Cottage Theatre closes 2014 season with She Loves Me December 5-21

Cottage Grove, OR — Cottage Theatre closes its 32nd season in December with a heart-warming musical romance created by the same composer/lyricist team responsible for Fiddler on the Roof. Written in 1963, She Loves Me is based on a 1937 play by Hungarian playwright Miklos Laszlo. This same play also inspired the 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner and the 1998 movie You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Cottage Theatre's production of She Loves Me opens on Friday, December 5 for a three-weekend run through December 21.

This version of the Laszlo story is set in the 1930s, as was the original play. Georg and Amalia are two feuding clerks in a European parfumerie who secretly find solace in their anonymous romantic pen pals, little knowing their respective correspondents are none other than each other. Funny, intelligent, honest and sentimental, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old world elegance and nostalgia, yet as universal and relevant as ever in this age of internet romances. 

Cottage Theatre's production of She Loves Me is directed by Ron Judd, with music direction by Larry Kenton, and choreography by Laura Hiszczynskyj. Set design is by Janet Whitlow, costume design is by Rhonda Turnquist and lighting design by Amanda Ferguson. Leading the cast as George and Amalia are Eric Elligott and Phoebe Gildea. Also featured are Paul von Rotz as shop owner Mr. Maraczek, Kim Fairbairn as Ilona Ritter, Earl Ruttencutter as Ladislav Sipos, Mark Van Beever as Steven Kodaly, Bradyn Debysingh as Arpad Laszlo, and George Comstock as the Cafe Imperiale Waiter. Rounding out the cast are Jack Lemhouse, Ward Fairbairn, Bil Morrill, Steve Knight, Zoe Muellner, Robyn Rothstein, Stefhani Anderson, Siv Serene, Susan Goes, and Amber Brower.

She Loves Me runs for three weekends at Cottage Theatre from December 5 - 21, 2014. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm and Sunday afternoons at 2:30 pm. 

Tickets are available online at www.cottagetheatre.org, by phone at 541-942-8001, or in person at the Cottage Theatre Box Office, 700 Village Drive, Cottage Grove. Tickets are $23 for adults and $19 for youth (18 or under). Box Office hours are Wednesday through Friday, 10 am to 2 pm, and one hour before performances.
