Acme Theater of Weston is excited to announce auditions for their first full-length production in their new home! 

Join us for the funny and fast-paced – Don’t Talk To The Actors, written by Tom Dudzick, directed by Dave Sheppard.

The Story:
The best-laid plans go awry when the cast and crew of a Broadway-bound play resort to manipulation, diva-like behavior, and chaotic abandon to get what they want. A fledgling playwright (Jerry) and his fiancée (Arlene) are a couple of Buffalo greenhorns suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York’s theater scene when Jerry’s play is optioned by an old-school producer for a Broadway run. But Jerry loses control of his dream as the mild-mannered director and tough-as-nails-stage manager try desperately to rein in the seasoned ego-filled television celebrities cast as the leads. Jerry and Arlene, in their innocence, fail dismally to recognize and avoid the pressures, pitfalls, and subterfuge that is the world of Broadway.

Lucinda/Larry – Stage Manager, British. 30s - 40s
