Upcoming Auditions

Mame

One of the funniest musicals ever written, with one of the most tuneful scores ever written, and some of the greatest characters in theatre, with the message that LIFE IS A BANQUET — Mame is coming to Quincy!

When young Patrick is plucked from his rural upbringing in Iowa to live with his wildly enthusiastic New York socialite Auntie Mame, he swiftly learns that “Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!” Mame’s captivating optimism and zest for life endear her to (almost) everyone she crosses paths with. Packed with musical theatre classics, such as “It’s Today” and “We Need a Little Christmas,” Mame will leave you feeling exhilarated and full of hope!

Actors and singers are needed to create this eclectic cast of characters. Roles for men and women ages 18+, and two young boys include Auntie Mame, a flamboyant and glamorous bohemian socialite; Patrick Dennis, Mame’s orphaned 10-year-old nephew; Agnes Gooch, Patrick’s mousy, frumpy nanny; Vera Charles, a theatrical star and Mame’s best friend; Beauregard Burnside, a wealthy southern gentleman who marries Mame; and an ensemble of eccentric and dynamic men and women to round out the cast!
