Auditions Planned for "A Man For All Seasons"

A very theatrical and important play, “A Man For All Seasons” is scheduled for performances next February 17-26. The director, Suzanne Boles, has been contacting potential cast members for some months, as it is a large, mostly male, cast. It is also a show with many costumes. Early auditions and pre-casting are necessary, due to costume requirements and the holiday season.
The play by Robert Bolt is about Sir Thomas More and the stance he took against Henry VIII’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne Boleyn, which cost More his life. It is a very powerful play set in the early days of the Reformation.
The Rev. Phil Lawrence has been pre-cast in the role of Sir Thomas More. Other pre-casting is necessary due to scheduling difficulties. Some characters are only in one or two scenes so rehearsals for those parts won’t begin until January. However, all characters need to be cast by Oct. 27 so that seamstresses can begin the costumes. Besides Sir Thomas, there are ten other male characters in the cast, one of which has no lines. There are parts for three women, but only one remains to be cast and that character is in three short scenes. Those interested in knowing more about the roles or in being considered for a part in this play should contact The Playmakers soon, 918-786-8950.
