AUDITIONS

ARIZONA ROSE THEATRE CO.

for

THE RAINMAKER

November 28th

from 6:00pm to 8pm

at the BERGER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

1200 W. Speedway Blvd

(these are open auditions - no appointment necessary)

Please have a prepared monologue

 Description:

Saddled to a failing cattle ranch in the Dust Bowl with a family of menfolk, Lizzy 

Curry has just about given up hope of finding love and escape. But when a charming trickster 

named Starbuck breezes into town promising to bring rain for $100, Lizzy's father gives the man 

the last of the family's savings, knowing that what he has to offer them, and Lizzy, is more than 

just rain. The Rainmaker is a classic American tale of the power of hope during hard times.

Time Commitment: 

We will have a pull-together and a few Rehearsals mid December with full

rehearsal schedule beginning early January. Production runs early February.

Compensation: 

The joy of performing

Please have a prepared monologue

 

We will be auditioning for the following roles

Jim

Early twenties. Has the sensibilities of a 9 year old boy.  

A farm kid type who would be more comfortable operating a plough than a 

pen and using his muscles than his mind.  Overall, has the innocence 

of a child and the heart of one too.

Noah

Mid to late twenties.  Has good head on his shoulder and, possibly, a mind for business.  

Has the wisdom of the world beyond his years and the ability to see what is 

right and wrong very clearly though he may not be able to express it in any hugely constructive way. 

He is the kind of man who one could see growing into a kind old father and friendly 

small business owner.  He has the ability to command the attention of a room 

with his personality, but still project an air of love and care.

File

Early thirties.  The kind of fella that exudes kindness.  A good man 

with only enough social skills to get by in the world.  Despite that, he has a  charm

 that makes you want to spend time with him even though there is a darkness deep in his 

eyes that betrays the scars of a once broken heart. 

Papa Curry

60's plus; widower, straight-forward, hard-pressed farmer desperate to save his land.

Sheriff Thomas

40-50's-county lawman and friend to the Curry family.
