OAK RIDGE PLAYHOUSE

Q. Do I need to attend both audition days?

A. No, you may come on the day of your choice.

Q. What is the rehearsal schedule like?

A. Rehearsals vary from show to show and also depends on how large your role is, but typcially rehearsals are held Mon-Fri evenings, and sometimes weekends close to opening.

Q. I don't have sheet music for a prepared song. Can I sing a capella or with a CD?

A. We prefer that you sing with piano, so it is to your advantage to come prepared.

Q. I've never been in a play before. Can I still audition?

A. Yes. Everyone has to start somewhere, so auditions are open to all.

Synopsis	Part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy. The poignant and funny memoir captures the life of a struggling pre-war Jewish family living in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn home. Adolescent Eugene Jerome, dreaming of baseball and girls, must somehow cope with the mundane existence of his family life: a formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother. Add in his widowed Aunt Blanche and her two rapidly aging young daughters, and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style.
