Love Letters
by A.R. Gurney
Directed by Scott Heine
Produced by Don Richardson
 
Synopsis:
Andrew and Melissa (played be Scott and Margo Heine), both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. They continue to exchange letters all of their lives as Andrew gets involved in politics and Melissa dabbles in the world of art. The romance of their lives and the unique intimacy they experience offer a captivating look at the unpredictable depths of love. "Love Letters" is an unique and imaginative theatre piece in which the focus is intentionally on the content of the couple's correspondence. Simple staging draws the attention to the performance as the letters are read, weaving together an evocative, touching, frequently funny, but always revealing story of two fascinating and entwined lives.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee


 February 5, 6, 7
Fridays and Saturdays 8 pm ~ Sundays 2 pm
Rated PG-13 due to very brief language and thematic content.
 
Fauquier Community Theatre is thrilled to announce the opening of its upcoming musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. For years, this hilariously edgy, fast-paced, award-winning musical has been delighting audiences and critics alike nationally (including Off-Broadway and Broadway) and internationally. Finally, Fauquier County residents get to be a part of the action! And that is meant quite literally. Each show will include three volunteer spellers from the community, adding to the feeling of freshness and liveliness.

The story begins as an eclectic group of six quirky mid-pubescents arrive for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hysterical and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Add to this, some equally quirky adults, and this is sure to please.

The show is comprised of a group of actors with no shortage of talent or wit. Actor credits include Ivy Elizabeth as Rona Lisa Peretti and Olive's mom, Ricardo Padilla as Vice Principal Panch and Dan Schwartz, Stephen Kutzleb as Chip Totentino, Madalyn Farmer as Logainne SchwartzandGrubenierre, Ken Wayne as Leaf Coneybear, Ahmad Maaty as William Barfee, Holly Tupper as Marcy Park, Hannah Butler as Olive Ostrovsky, Joel Saunders as Mitch Mahoney and Olive's dad, and Gregory Leggott as Carl Grubenierre and Jesus Christ.

Performances are located at The Fauquier Community Theatre at 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton, VA 20187 (in Vint Hill) on January 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31 and February 5, 6, 7. Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm; Sundays at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $18.00 for Adults and $16.00 for Seniors/Students and are available online at http://www.FCTstage.org

Audition Location
Hope Christian Fellowship
4173 Bludau Drive, Warrenton, VA 20186

Be Prepared
Bring this completed Audition Form to the audition.
Please come prepared with 1-2 minutes of a Broadway that shows range, musicality, and emotional depth, with an accompaniment track (we will be using tracks for the show and would like auditioners to do the same). We will be able to play CD's or any music player with a headphone jack.
Songs should be chosen from shows in a similar style (Suggestions: Phantom of the Opera, Secret Garden, Les Miserables, The Scarlet Pimpernel). This is a musically demanding show in a more classical style and we want to see what you can do! There will be a minimal dance/movement component. Come in clothing you can move in. Monologs are not required, but you may be asked to do cold readings. Please arrive and be ready BEFORE the start of the audition session. Please do your research: be as familiar as possible with the story and the show before coming to auditions.
