BRATTLEBORO — Vermont Theatre Company announced auditions for its fall production of The Receptionist, a comedy by Adam Bock directed by Bill Wieliczka. Auditions will be held on Thursday, June 22, at 6 p.m., in the Brattleboro Union High School auditorium.
There are four roles for two men and two women ages twenty to 60. The show calls for: Beverly, the receptionist, age 30-50; Mr. Raymond, the boss, age 40-60; Lorraine, the co-worker, age 20-30; and Mr. Dart, the Rep from the Central Office, age 20-30.
Actors will be asked to do cold readings from the script.
The Receptionist takes place in the Northeast Office at the start of a normal day as Beverly handles calls and standard office drama. However, this day is unsettled when the Central Office sends a rep to investigate the mishandling of a client. Suddenly the company's true purpose is revealed and things take a dark turn as the play questions institutionalized evil and the rationale of those who are culpable.
The production will run Sept. 29-Oct. 1 and Oct. 6-8, at the Hooker-Dunham Theater in Brattleboro.
