AUDITION NOTICE

Riccarton Players will be holding auditions this month for Death & Taxes, a New Zealand comedy by April Phillips:

"Death &Taxe$" is a madcap financial farce set in the very topical world of insurance, investments and KiwiSaver! It's a crime story. It's a ghost story. It’s a hilarious comedy featuring dodgy deals, a potty psychic, a fishy tax inspector, a nutty cop, murder, mayhem and a hairy Yak!
The cast includes the following characters:


GARETH BURKE - Middle or late middle-aged insurance agent.  An arrogant, show-off who thinks he’s God’s gift.  Gareth gesticulates punctuation.
TIFFANY MARTIN - Late 20’s/early 30’s – Receptionist.  A bimbo with attitude and a gold digger.
ENID BURKE  - Middle or late middle-aged – Gareth’s wife. A domineering, large, intimidating woman with expensive taste.
BOB GREENE  - Early 40’s.  An unambitious insurance agent.  Nice and polite and single; still lives with his mother.
LUCILLE POTTS - Middle-aged female insurance agent.  Lucille is an ambitious saleswoman.  She is a dowdy, frumpy spinster and although confident in business, she is extremely uncomfortable with anything of a sexual or personal nature.
DOUGLAS GRAVES - Middle-aged Business Development Manager.  Nasal and monotone, unsmiling and slightly creepy.  Think of Mr Bean crossed with the manic depressive robot from “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”
TED PATCHETT - 30’s or 40’s – detective inspector who habitually quotes from movies and impersonates his favourite stars.
ELIZABETH BATTERSEA -  Aged 68 – a forthright widow who doesn’t suffer fools and speaks her mind.


Performance dates are March 7th to 17th.  Auditions are on Saturday, January 14th - to book an audition time or to find out more, contact Craig Hutchison on 027 439 9691 or craig@casnz.co.nz
