Auditions set for LTO’s production of ‘Cat’s Cradle’ by Leslie Sands

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Glenice SwensonJanuary 23, 2020

Little Theatre of Owatonna has announced auditions for its spring production of “Cat’s Cradle” by Leslie Sands.

The auditions will take place from 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 16, and Monday, February 17, at LTO, 560 Dunnell Drive in the West Hills Complex in Owatonna.

Jon Terrill is the artistic director and Mary Butler-Fraser, the technical director.

The action takes place at “The Cresswall Arms,” an old coaching-house in a remote English village. Many years before, a kidnapping (and perhaps murder) had taken place in the town, but the policeman assigned to the case by Scotland Yard, Inspector Frost, had failed to solve the crime. Now he has returned to try again, only to find that he had become a very unwelcomed guest. In fact, as he reopens his investigation, he encounters suspicion and even hostility, as it becomes increasingly clear that he is facing a conspiracy of silence and the wish of the townspeople to leave the past shrouded in mystery. But Frost presses on, with results that are both startling and disquieting, and which lead to a surprise ending in which justice is indeed served after all – but in a manner more ironic and severe than any formal court of law could mete out.

The cast is comprised of 4 females and 4 males.  A male and female from teens to their 20s. Two females ages 40-60s. One female ages 50-70s. Two Males ages 40-60s. One male ages 50-70s.

Peggy Fletcher – Inkeeper’s wife

Sam – Inkeeper

Miss Merton – retired spinster

Sarah Fulton – Bride-to-be

Pamela Fulton – Mother-of-the-bride

John Frost – Inspector at Scotland Yard

Bob Marriott – Sarah’s spurned beau

Sir Charles Cresswall – Charming and autocratic

Audition packets are now available at the Owatonna Public Library, and online at:
https://littletheatreofowatonna.org/upcoming-auditions/.

Performances will be at 7:30pm April 24, 25, May 1, 2 with matinee performances at 2:00pm April 26 and May 3.

“Cat’s Cradle” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services, Inc. New York

Community theatre needs your help!The Save Our Stages Act, which has been incorporated to the CARES ACT 2, began as a push for funding to save music venues. As the legislation evolved, theatres were added in, but some of the wording remained the same, which may preclude community theatres from receiving funding. Wording in the Save Our Stages Act says you must pay artists/performers—see page 204, line 23.ADVOCACY ALERT - Save Our Stages Act Funding - Take Action Now! - mailchi.mp/aact.org/roundtables-321652 ...
