Auditions

Fat Pig
A comedic play by Neil LaBute
Directed by: Greg Williams, Jr.

Cow. Slob. Pig. How many insults can you hear before you have to stand up and defend the woman you love? Tom faces just that question when he falls for Helen, a bright, funny, sexy young woman who happens to be plus sized-and then some.

Performances are Thursday March 25, 2010 & Friday March 26, 2010 @ Independence Park Theatre
Auditions will be held at Independence Park Theatre
7800 Independence Blvd
Thursday, January 28, 2010 6:00 PM

Please email us at info@newventuretheatre.org or contact Greg Williams (225-939-3874) or Alvin Temple (225-266-0774) if you plan on auditioning.

• Please prepare a memorized 1-minute comedic monologue.
• Be prepared to cold read for characters/roles

Helen – Female Actress (can play ages 25-35) Bubbly, Friendly, extremely charismatic and completely aware of her size and what people’s perceptions may be about her weight. Will joke about herself before anyone else has a chance to.  She is completely in love with Tom but unsure if he is really in love with her. Actress is large framed.

Tom - Male Actor (can play ages 28-35.) Warm, funny, attractive, sensitive and very aware of what others think about him and is not good at confrontation.

Carter – Male Actor (can play ages 28-35) A realist. Direct, confident and not afraid to offend people if it suits him. Not a villain just someone who “tells it like it is” from his perspective.

Jeannie – Female Actor (can play ages 25-35) Fed up with being brushed off by Tom. Works to fit in and be what men expect of her. She is very attractive by our traditional societal standards, and knows it. Thin.
