\nAUDITION NOTICE<\/u>\u00a0–\u00a0Suite Surrender<\/i>\u00a0by Michael McKeever<\/b><\/div>\n
Directed by Robin Saywood\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n
About the Show<\/u><\/b>\u00a0<\/u><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel – with assistance, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime fundraising performance\u2026 That is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendre, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of the love note to the classic farces of the 1930s and 40s.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Character Breakdown<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*\u00a0Otis and Francis<\/b>\u00a0(ages approximately 25-40s) – Bellhops; these two are a comedic duo.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200e\u00a0Bernard Dunlap<\/b>\u00a0(aged 40s-50s) – The hotel manager. Dapper and impeccably dressed; supposedly in control, yet, under the calm surface of his polished demeanour and perfectly pressed suit, is a hysteric screaming to come out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200eMrs. Osgood\u00a0<\/b>(45-60s) – President of\u00a0Palm Beach Ladies For Unity.<\/i>\u00a0She looks at the war effort as if it’s just another social event. Matronly, stylish, and a bit daft.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200eClaudia McFadden<\/b>\u00a0– (40s-55) A real diva; dramatic, demanding and expects the very best.\u00a0An impressive woman, larger than life.\u00a0Every word and every gesture is an exclamation point.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200eMr. Pippit<\/b>\u00a0(35-50s) – Claudia’s personal secretary and caretaker for Caludia’s lapdog, Mr. Boodles. Pippit is tightly wound and perpetually stressed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200eAthena Sinclair<\/b>\u00a0(40s-50s) A great star of stage and screen. An entitled diva who is used to the finer things in life. Elegant, calculating, and extremely proud.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*\u00a0Murphy Stevens<\/b>\u00a0(25-35) Athena’s personal secretary. Efficient and seemingly more grounded than the diva she works for.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
* \u200eDora Del Rio<\/b>\u00a0(35-50s) – A gossip columnist who is always chasing the next big scoop. Determined and unapologetically nosy.<\/div>\n
