Laughter on the 23rd Floor

Nashua Theatre Guild will hold auditions for its spring production of Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23^rd Floor on Tuesday and Thursday, December 6 & 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the new Nashua YMCA, Exit 5W off the F.E. Everett Turnpike—across from Stellos Stadium and near the police station and public works department.

This production will be co-directed by Craig Ciampa and Mark Morrison and will be performed on April 26 to 29 in the Janice B. Streeter Theater at 14 Court Street.  The cast consists of seven men, ages 20’s – 40’s and two women, ages 20’s to 30’s.  One of the men has to speak in a Russian accent.

The play takes place during the 1950’s in the writing staff room of “The Max Prince Show” and is based on Simon’s experiences as a comedy writer for Sid Caesar.

Characters:

Lucas – Mid 20’s.  The narrator and newest member to the staff.

Milt – Late 20’s to early 30’s.  Snappy dresser and a ladies’ man.  We first see him wearing a beret.

Val – 30’s to 40’s.  Speaks in a Russian accent.

Brian – Script says he’s 29 but looks older.  Heavy smoker and balding.

Kenny – 30’s and a sophisticated “boy genius”.

Ira – 30’s or 40’s.  All energy.

Max Prince – Age 30 to 40.  The star of the show. 

Carol – Late 20’s and the only female writer to the show.  Think Sally Rogers from “The Dick Van Dyke Show”.

Helen – Late 20’s.  Max’s secretary.

Auditions will consist of just readings from the script.  No prepared monologues needed but please bring a photo of you.  If you don’t have a photo, one can be taken at the auditions.
