MV Campus - Fall Play Auditions Today Wed. Sept. 19th - Boy meets Girl
Auditions for the SVC fall production of Boy Get’s Girl by Rebecca Gilman (Churning into Butter) will happen today Wednesday.
Time: 3 pm and 7 pm
And on Friday at 6 pm
Where: Phil Tarro Theatre, Skagit Valley College.
What to bring: yourself and a monologue, if you don’t have a monologue you can cold read. I do think highly of an actor who is prepared with a monologue….
Performances: November 9,10,16,17,18
Rehearsals will either be in the afternoons or in the evenings.
What is Boy Gets Girl about?
Sex, Relationships, Men, Women, Stalkers, Creepy weird stalkers, Life-changing creepy weird stalkers, oh… and a old man who makes adult films and is obsessed with women’s breasts. Sound interesting?
It is written by Rebecca Gilman, an award winning playwright who you will love. She thinks like you and talks like you. The time is now and the characters are fun and interesting.
The main character is a professional journalist who goes out on a blind date and the guy doesn’t understand the word, “NO!” The play then takes a Law and Order, SVU kind of turn, as the cops are brought in and restraining orders are made. The play is composed of beautiful scenes that explore men and women’s relationships, both sexual and platonic, friends and co-workers. We are looking for one older guy to play the adult film producer that is interviewed by the main character. Please ask your professors to try out. The only requirement is that they need to be comfortable with talking about female anatomy.
What are you doing this Fall? We are looking for a few great women, a few good men, one very creepy stalker, and a gentleman of distinguished age.
Come join me Wednesday or Friday.
If you are the Stage Manager type, please email me. We need to get you on board ASAP.
Email me if you have questions.

MacHomer comes to McIntyre Hall at the MV Campus - Laugh yourself stupid!
Mac Homer
COMES TO MCINTYRE HALL
STARRING RICK MILLER
FOR A LIMITED ENGAGEMENT
MacHomer, the pop culture twist on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, is now a worldwide sensation. This blockbuster has won the hearts of millions in more than 15 different languages. Tickets for MacHomer at McIntyre Hall are now on sale for two performances only Friday and Saturday, September 21 – 22 at 7:30pm.
This one-man vocal spectacular features impressions of over 50 voices from TV's The Simpsons in a hilarious performance of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Rick Miller blends the characters of Homer, Marge, Bart and all the favorites from the Fox series with the characters from Shakespeare's tale of kings, murder and an ambitious wife with eyes on a throne for her husband. The result is that rare jewel: an educational and entertaining show, which has amazed audiences of all ages, backgrounds and languages. With a script which remains 85% Shakespeare, MacHomer will leave you "exhausted with laughter" (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
“Terrific! It’s intelligent, often hilariously funny, and it works like gangbusters, and the laughs are continuous.” – Los Angeles Times
“A hyper fast-forward meld of Shakespeare and The Simpsons… Miller is fast, skilled and determined. Impressively Simpsonian.” – San Francisco Chronicle.
“Phenomenal… Miller performs with energy, relish and precision.” – Critic’s Choice, Chicago Reader
Rick Miller has performed MacHomer in 100 cities on 4 continents to over half a million Simpsons/Shakespeare fans. The show has earned rave reviews in Canada, the USA, Scotland, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Columbia. And for 2007-08, MacHomer is bigger and better than ever, featuring 200 new drawings, a new soundtrack, new songs, and a script that has been completely revised, updated, and expanded.
TICKET INFORMATION
Tickets are $30, 27, and are on sale now. Tickets may be purchased at the McIntyre Hall box office, by calling 360-416-7727 or online at http://www.mcintyrehall.org/ .
Show days and times are Friday and Saturday, September 21 & 22 at 7:30pm.
McIntyre Hall is located on Skagit Valley College Mount Vernon campus – 2501 East College Way.
