Three crooks. Eight doors. Go.” UNNECESSARY FARCE is an award-winning stage comedy that combines all the elements of classic farce with a contemporary American plot. In an economy motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant. In the room next door, two undercover cops are supposed to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s watching the video, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. EXPECTATION AND PREPARATION: Prepare: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Prior to auditions, please read and familiarize yourself with the play and the role/s that interest you. Bring: Please bring a current resume and headshot. Also bring all known conflicts from April 23 through June 17.

Additional Notes: Cast members are required to assist with strike following the final performance on June 17. Cast members may also be asked to assist with costume pieces. CHARACTERS: Note: Age ranges listed for characters are suggested ages only. These may be flexible depending on the actors auditioning. 4 males and 3 females Eric Sheridan: Male, 30s.

A sweet, gentle fellow, who seems very Innocent (with a capital “I”) Agent Frank: Male, 30s to 50s. Town Hall head of Security.
