Rehearsals will start after the holiday season, with performances scheduled for February 14-16 and February 21-23, 2020.

About the show:
Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is primed to welcome world-famous Tito Morelli, known as Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only as Pagliacci. The star arrives late and, through a hilarious series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant, Max, believe he’s dead. In a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades Max to get into Morelli’s Pagliacci costume and fool the audience into thinking he’s Il Stupendo. Max succeeds admirably, but Morelli comes to and gets into his other costume, ready to perform. Now two Pagliaccis are running around in costume and two women are head over heels, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London’s West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
Characters

Henry Saunders – The Cleveland Grand Opera’s general manager. Father to Maggie. A blowhard who often loses his temper at the slightest mishap.
Max – Saunders’ long-suffering assistant, who is forced to take Tito’s place.
Maggie Saunders – Saunders’ daughter, and Max’s girlfriend; she has great admiration for Tito.
Tito Merelli – The world’s most renowned opera tenor, and notorious ladies man.
Maria – Tito’s long-suffering wife, with an “Italian temper”. Leaves Tito early in the play, but ultimately returns to him. Loves Tito, despite his philandering.
Diana – The opera’s ingenue soprano, who is “flinging her way” to the top. A seductive woman (and she knows it).
Julia – Chairwoman of the Cleveland Opera Guild, who considers herself a “grande dame.”
The Bellhop – A comic relief character who has an ongoing feud with Saunders. An obnoxious opera fan, the Bellhop keeps showing up at the hotel suite at the wrong moment, trying to get an autograph and a photo of Tito Merelli.

Actors will be asked to read in pairs and trios from the script which will be emailed ahead of time when an audition slot is confirmed. Memorization is not required.
Any men interested in the roles of Max, Tito Merelli, or the Bellhop should also prepare a short operatic piece to sing a capella (any song sung operatically – if it’s Hotel California operatically, that’s great!)
To sign-up for a half hour audition slot, please email Performing Arts Manager Jared Zeigler at jared@northfieldartsguild.org
Questions can also be sent there. We look forward to seeing you!

Lend Me a Tenor
2020-02-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
Lend Me a Tenor is a feel-good, farcical comedy, a tale of unexpected romance, hilarious gags, and mistaken identity. Set in the early 1930s, an opera house is on the verge of disaster when the principal tenor is unable to perform. Still, the show must go on, and the opera managers must scramble to find a replacement before all is lost. With a lively cast of over-the-top characters, up-beat tunes, and a penchant for mayhem, Lend Me a Tenor, by Ken Ludwig, is an energetic, laugh-filled romp for the whole family. Directed by Marc Robinson.

CANCELED - Grey Gardens
2020-04-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
The Guild has suspended all large events through the end of April, including our production of Grey Gardens. There are no immediate plans to reschedule, given what we hope is a busy summer with The Lion in Winter and Billy Elliot the Musical.
Grey Gardens is a musical that tracks the lives of two mother/daughter socialites (the aunt and cousin to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis) as their lives fall from glittering, wild extravagance to seclusion in a crumbling estate overrun by cats. As the mother is left bedridden, and her daughter comes to grapple with the loss that has left them destitute, the pair try to reconcile their relationship and missed opportunities. As hilarious as it is tragic, the musical was nominated for numerous Tony and Drama Desk awards, as well as a Grammy nomination for its enrapturing score. Grey Gardens is a heartfelt musical wrought with humor, wit and compassion- with book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel, and lyrics by Michael Korie, based on the 1975 documentary of the same name. Directed by Mishia Edwards.

The Lion in Winter- postponed to summer 2021
2020-06-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Central Park, Northfield, 421 Fourth Street East, Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
More information about updates to the Guild’s 2019-20 Theater Season can be found in an announcement here.
The Lion in Winter depicts the tumultuous relationship between Henry II of England and his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. With Eleanor recently released from prison, and their three sons arriving to spend time with the family on holiday, the question looms: who will be the next heir to the throne? Fraught with intrigue, each family member schemes to usurp the other. This delightfully wicked and ferociously funny drama by James Goldman investigates the balance between family roles and power structures, and how all can go sour when the chips are down. Directed by Rachel Haider at Central Park, celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Theater in the Park.

CANCELED - Billy Elliot
2020-07-31 19:30 - 21:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
More information about updates to the Guild’s 2019-20 Theater Season can be found in an announcement here.
Set during the 1980’s British miners’ strike, motherless, working-class Billy Elliot dreams of being a professional ballet dancer. However, his father and brother want nothing to do with the so-called “nonmasculine” art of dance, and Billy’s teacher resolves to give Billy secret dance lessons so that he can audition for the Royal Ballet school. The winner of 14 Tony, Olivier, and Drama Desk awards, including Best Musical, Book, and Original score, Billy Elliot is an exploration of how we can find our place and passions in an unbalanced world. The empowering music is by Elton John, with book and lyrics by Lee Hall, who wrote the original film screenplay of the same name.

Deathtrap
2021-10-22 19:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
OCTOBER 22 – 31, 2021
Ira Levin’s Deathtrap is an ingeniously constructed play that offers a rare and skillful blending of two priceless theatrical ingredients – gasp-inducing thrills and spontaneous laughter. Comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a dry spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller that Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway smash. Sidney’s plan, devised with his wife’s help, is to offer collaboration to the student for co-credit. Or is it? Deathtrap provides twists and turns of devilish cleverness, and offers hilariously sudden shocks in such abundance that audiences will be spellbound until the very last moment. “If you care to assassinate yourself with laughter, try Deathtrap.” —TIME Magazine.
Directed by Susan Carlson.

It's a Wonderful Life
2021-12-04 19:00 - 21:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 West Third Street, Northfield, MN, 55057
Widely considered one of the most inspirational and beloved stories in American film, It’s a Wonderful Life, translates beautifully to the Guild stage in this imaginative 1940’s style radio-on-stage production by Tony “Sparx” Palermo. This adaptation is designed as a live theater production with all the pizzazz and delight of golden era live radio shows, including students as live sound effects artists.
George Bailey has spent his whole life giving up his dreams to help others. When his Uncle Billy loses the funds belonging to his small loan business and George realizes that he will be held responsible, he believes his family and friends would be better off without him. On Christmas Eve, his guardian angel, Clarence, has a better idea.

A madcap adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novel, Peter and the Starcatcher is a play with music that humorously explores the bonds of friendship, duty, and love. The play serves as a prequel to the tale of Peter Pan, providing a backstory for the characters of Mrs. Darling, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, Peter Pan, and more. The ensemble cast will work together to bring analog-style theatrical magic, physicality, and creativity to the stage.
WHAT TO PREPARE
Prepare one or two of these monologues from the show. You might also be asked to read from the script. Those auditioning for the roles of Molly, Mrs. Bumbrake, Black Stache, Alf, Teacher and Smee should additionally prepare 16 bars of a musical theater song. Others may be asked to sing at a callback.
CASTING NOTES
The imaginative theme of the play allows for wide age ranges, however, please note that you must be at least 14 by May 31, 2022, to audition. This play contains mature humor. The characters Prentiss, Peter, Molly, and Ted are in their early teen years, but may be played by adults. Roles open to all ethnicities.
This ensemble cast also portrays narrators, mermaids, pirates, sailors, islanders and various other creatures, locations, and people throughout the show. Some of these might be picked up by additional actors – to be determined during the auditions.
