Boys Next Door Auditions
Posted By admin on February 12, 2010
The Bandon Playhouse along with Director Mike Dempsey will be holding auditions for The Boys Next Door on February, Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th at 6:30 pm. The auditions will be held at Pazaz Printing and Copying Center, located at 1180 Oregon Ave, right next door to Bank of America in Bandon. The play, by Tom Griffin, is a bittersweet story of four mentally challenged roommates living in an apartment with the help of a dedicated, but “burnt-out,” social worker. The challenges of developmental disabilities and mental illness that face the four afflicted men are rendered in realistic but compassionate terms. Audiences generally find that the hopes, frustrations, and emotional lives of the four “boys next door” resonate with everyone’s common humanity. There is much humor in the play, both verbal and situational, which adds an upbeat tone to an otherwise difficult subject. One critic aptly summed up the effect of the play on the audience as “making us howl with laughter as we fight back tears of recognition.” For more information contact Mike at 404-2659.
