Greetings Acting Afficionados, Improv. Impresarios and Stephanie Plum
Experts!
We're in the initial planning stages of a bus tour of Trenton that will
bring to life the people & places immortalized in Janet Evanovich's best
selling novels about bail bondswoman Stephanie Plum.
Volunteers are needed to assist with the tour. In particular, we need actors
to bring Stephanie's world to life for 150 tour goers on May 15. Open
auditions will be held:
Saturday, March 13th, from 11:00AM to 2:00PM
at the Mill Hill Playhouse, Front and Montgomery Streets.
There is no need to prepare material. Familiarity with the books is
encouraged, as well as a talent for fun and improvisation. Please pass this
on to other theater groups and people you think might be interested.
WANTED:
#1 Stephanie Plum - Trenton's favorite pistol-packing, condom-carrying
bounty hunter, "blue-eyed, fair-skinned product of a Hungarian-Italian union
with lots of hair and attitude."
#2 Granda Mazur - Funeral-happy, tough, quirky, "seventy-two & didn't look a
day over ninety", "She'd been a beauty in her time, but the years had turned
her slack-skinned and spindle-boned."
#3 Joe Morelli - A vice cop with ethics that lean to the gray zone, a libido
in permanent overdrive. "A new scar, paper thin, sliced through his right
eyebrow, causing his right eyelid to droop ever so slightly. The effect was
unsettling. Menacing." "... trouble, but he's the kind of trouble a woman
likes."
#4 Lula - Ex-hooker, "If people were cars, Lula would be a big, black '53
Packard with a high-gloss chrome grille, oversized headlights, and a growl
like a junkyard dog." "The transformation had her looking like a 230-pound
black kick-ass Shirley Temple." "She buys her clothes in the petite
department and then shoehorns herself into them. This wouldn't work for most
people, but it seems right for Lula. Lula shoehorns herself into life."
#5 'Ranger' Manoso - Cuban-American Chameleon, " a soldier-of fortune kind
of guy." "His straight black hair was slicked back in a ponytail. His biceps
looked like they'd been craved of granite and buffed up with Armor All. He
was around 5'10" with a muscular neck and a don't mess with me body. I
placed him in his late twenties."
#6 Connie Rosolli - Secretary for Bail Bondsman. "She had lots of teased
black hair, flawless olive skin, and a five-o'clock shadow on her upper
lip." "hair teased up to about three times the size of her head"
#7 Vinnie Plum- Bail Bondsman, "forty-five, 5' 7" without his lifts, & had
the slim boneless body of a ferret."
