Auditions: Boys in the Band today and Monday
Apr 29th
Out Front on Main, Inc. is pleaed to announce Auditions for Mart Crowley’s Boys in the Band directed by D. Richard Browder. Auditions are A.Sunday, April 29 4-6pm and Monday, April 30 6-9pm. Out Front is located at 1511 E. Main Street in Murfreesboro beside MTSU. No prepa…red material necessary, auditions will consist of cold reading from the script.
It is set in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where six of Harold’s closest friends are throwing him a birthday party. One of Harold’s presents is “Cowboy”, an attractive but obviously unintelligent male prostitute, since Harold, increasingly morose about losing his youthful looks, claims he no longer can attract cute young men. The other characters are Michael, the host and a lapsed Roman Catholic alcoholic undergoing psychoanalysis; Donald, a conflicted friend who has moved from the city to spurn the homosexual “lifestyle;” Bernard, an African-American who still pines for the wealthy white boy in the house where his mother worked as a maid; Emory, who is extremely flamboyant and the most stereotypical of the group; and Larry, an aggressively sexual homosexual and Hank, who “passes” as straight, a couple living together but disagreeing on the issue of monogamy. An unexpected party guest is Alan, Michael’s allegedly straight college friend, who is in town and anxious to tell Michael something—but hesitant to do so when he sees the group.
During the party the self-deprecating humor takes a nasty turn as the nine men become increasingly inebriated. The party culminates in a game where each man must call someone and tell him he loves him. Michael, believing that Alan has finally “outed” himself when he makes his call, is stunned to discover it is Alan’s wife on the line when he grabs the phone away from Alan. The audience never learns what Alan intended to discuss with Michael, but is left with the possibility that his decision to reveal his homosexuality was averted by his repulsion for the behavior he witnessed throughout the evening.
The play runs in June for two weekends. www.outfrontonmain.com

Out Front on Main, Inc. is pleased to announce Marsha Norman’s Pulitzer Prize Winning ‘night, Mother directed by Ryan T. Daniel. The show runs April 19-29 Thursdays-Sundays at 7:30pm. Reservations and info at (615) 869-8617 or www.outfrontonmain.com Out Front on Main, Inc. is located at 1511 E. Main Street, Murfreesboro, beside MTSU.
Briefly, `night, Mother is a play one act with two characters on the stage, Jessie Cates (Lora Phillips Hortert), late thirties to early forties, who lives with her mother, Thelma (Meigie Mabry). The play opens with Jessie asking her mother where a particular gun is kept. She finds it with Thelma’s help. As she cleans the gun, she quietly announces she’s going to be killing herself at the end of the evening. Jessie’s announcement sets off a fierce struggle between mother and daughter, with Thelma using every strategy she can conceive of to talk Jessie out of her plan. Thelma becomes so desperate, she even resorts to telling Jessie the truth about a number of issues that have affected her life.
This play is brilliant in every way, characters, dialogue, pacing. The reason I’ve included it in this work book is because it illustrates a central facet about the nature of what creates drama in a story: the anticipation of an outcome for a dramatic issue. In this case, that means that Thelma, and the story’s audience, learns early on of Jessie’s plans. And because of learning Jessie’s plans, both Thelma and the story’s audience are thrust deep into the heart of this story’s questions…
