The Upstage Players Board is hosting auditions for its 2022 summer community theatre production, Brigadoon. Auditions will be held in the auditorium at the Upsala High School on Monday, May 9 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. (Actors are allowed to leave after their audition instead of remaining the entire time, but plan to arrive with enough time to fill out the audition form.) If you had been planning to audition, but can’t make that audition date work, please email Melanie at mcimenski@isd485.org to see if something can be worked out.

The monologue options for Brigadoon auditions are in the attached file. It is not necessary to memorize a monologue, but actors should be familiar enough with a monologue to perform it.

Leonice has been the president of the Upstage Arts Board since 2009; but has been a board member since 2004. She can be found on stage, backstage or directing. She enjoys all facets of theatre and can't choose which she enjoys most. She is directing Wine, Cheese and Murder and finds directing a dinner theatre has its own nuances and is thankful for such a talented cast!

Larry was most recently seen in Murder May I? as Peter Jeter. He plays the role of Stilton Muenster in Wine, Cheese and Murder. Stilton is a grape short of a bunch, but is the limited intellect just an act?

Melanie has been active with the Upstage summer musicals since her debut in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers in 2011. Wine, Cheese and Murder is her second Upstage winter show. She is Chardonnay Boudreaux, co-owner of the Boudreaux Sisters Winery, who is introducing their new cabernet sauvignon. She hopes to buy out her sister Brie so that she can own the winery exclusively; but will the wine do as well as she hopes?

Jeff is Bea Jolie in Wine, Cheese and Murder. Beau is a wine connoisseur who thinks very highly of himself. Will that conceit lead to issues at the Boudreaux Sister's wine tasting?

Arlene has been in several Upstage productions, most recently Louisa in Crazy for You. Her favorite role to date, however, was Dorcas in Seven Bridge for Seven Brothers. Arlene's smile and fun demeanor is always welcome to any cast!
Mrs. Thymes Zupp is the role Arlene plays in Wine, Cheese and Murder. Will Thyme know which cheese to eat with which wine by the time the wine tasting is complete? Will it even matter?

Pam is a familiar face on the stage. She has been active with the Upstage Players since their formation in 2004. In fact, she has been the secretary since the Upstage Arts Board was created. That is dedication!
Pam plays Aurora Grenache in Wine, Cheese and Murder. Aurora owns the vineyard Crestfallen next door. The Boudreauxs and Aurora have feuded for years. Could it have led to something sinister?
