Auditions – Heartland Theatre Company

AUDITIONS for THE CAKE

Directed by Sandra Zielinski

Monday, February 17 & Tuesday, February 18: 7-10 pm – 2020

“The Cake explores human conflict from an insightful, slightly offbeat perch with understanding, respect and compassion for opposing points of view — and without dumbing down or sentimentalizing its characters….”

– Los Angeles Time Reviewer

Characters:

DELLA – 40s—65, pleasant, Southern Baptist, owns a bakery in North Carolina.

TIM – 40s—65, her husband, a good ol’ boy, works as a plumber.

JEN – early 30–35, with a wedding binder, who has dreamt of her wedding day her whole life; New Yorker sensibilities.

MACY – early 30–35, her reluctant fiancé, African American, from Brooklyn and is a progressive Y generation woman.

Auditions will be held at Heartland Theatre, using cold readings from the script for both audition evenings. It is preferable if you can attend both evening auditions. There is no need to bring a prepared monologue. If you have a headshot and/or a list of acting experiences, please bring this information with you.

Within the script there are two sexually suggestive scenes. There will be no nudity in this production. None.
