NVTA One Act – Auditions

Reese and Babe

Short, one act play for NVTA One Act Festival
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 from 7 PM to 9 PM
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
Rehearsals will be once or twice a week, days to be determined. One performance will take place June 18, 19, 25, or 26, 2010. Awards ceremony will be held June 27, 2010.

Reese has buried his wife Babe’s classic 1965 Mustang in the back yard. Why? Call it a panic attack. They both thought that Babe was involved last night in a freakish hit-and-run accident, hitting a child on a dark, foggy stretch of road. Now they’ve just found out that it was not a child, but a chimpanzee. A Wonder Chimp, actually, from the circus. And suddenly there’s a clown at the front door, and the police are on the way. This could get ugly. Or just very, very funny.

Roles:
Reese – Adult Male
Babe – Adult Female
Salty – Preferably Female, but could be male
Police Officer – Adult Male or Female

Please contact Director Sallie Willows if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Grades 2-8 will be perfect for the camp. It will be Mar 28-Apr 2, 2010 from 10am-2pm; The tuition is just $200 for the entire week; they are able to keep the prices low because they write their own scripts and do not have to pay the royalty fees of a national musical theatre group.

Fauquier Community Theatre Awarded Grant

Fauquier Community Theatre (FCT) is pleased to announce that the theatre group has been awarded a grant from the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF). The grant is to assist in upgrading the theatre’s lighting system. Since the theatre building currently in use for productions is aging, much of the associated equipment is also aging. An upgraded lighting system will significantly enhance the quality of the productions as well as provide a better and more stable rehearsal environment.

FCT wishes to thank NPCF for its interest in supporting community activities and enabling us to continue providing entertainment and educational experiences in out local community.
