OPEN AUDITIONS: EPAC Rep. Co.,
The House of Blue Leaves
Monday, April 28th @ 6pm
Please prepare a one-minute monologue of your choice.
The lives of a Queens, New York, family get turned upside down as Pope Paul VI visits New York City. Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper/failed singer-songwriter, longs to find fame in Hollywood with his girlfriend, Bunny. Artie’s mentally ill wife, Bananas, with whom he lives, imagines herself to be animals. Artie has found an institution for her–with trees with blue leaves–and will take her there before moving to California with Bunny, hopefully to find fame, fortune, and favor from his best friend, Billy, a Hollywood director. Artie and Bananas’ son, Ronnie, is illegally home from the Army attempting to assassinate the Pope, and soon, the family’s evening is disrupted by three nuns and Billy’s deaf actress-girlfriend. Chaos erupts when characters’ lives intersect as they all try to be in the presence of the Pope on this historic day. The House of Blue Leaves is a hilarious, heartbreaking, farcical journey through one New York apartment where characters engage directly with an audience who will at the same time adore–and admonish–them all. The play includes musical elements, with Artie’s songs (music and lyrics), provided in the script, written by the author.

The pair we never knew we needed. The King and the Bard! Based off of Shakespeare’s 12th Night and set to the music of Elvis Pressley, All Shook Up is a 50’s Rock and Roll retelling of a classic girl meets boy comedy. Fresh out of the slammer, Chad the Roustabout rides into a small Midwest town and reminds everyone about the power of love, rock and roll and blue suede shoes. His presence changes the lives of the young female mechanic, a grieving widower, a frustrated museum curator, the local honky tonk owner and the mayor who wants to make sure no one rises above their status.
Under the direction of Connor Gates with Music Direction by Alex Van Tassel and Choreography by Emily Foti this classic Broadway hit features such memorable tunes as “Jailhouse Rock”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Don’t Be Cruel” and “A Little Less Conversation” among many other classics.
