Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson
directed by Robert Wilson
Performances  9/12-10/19

It's 1939 and the production on Gone with the Wind is in trouble. The script stinks, Clark Gable doesn't like the current director, and producer David O. Selznick is bleeding money. Selznick calls in screenwriter Ben Hecht and new director Victor Fleming. They begin a marathon five day re-write to save the production, aided by Selznick's much put-upon secretary Miss Poppenguhl and a diet of bananas and peanuts. Yes, it really happened, but probably nowhere near as funnily as playwright Hutchinson has created it. It's a fast-paced inside Hollywood comedy.

Characters:
David O. Selznick - 40's-50's. Although already a successful producer and very much the last word on all decisions, he has bet his entire future on the success of this picture and sees it falling apart. Son-in-law of Louis B. Mayer, who is his financial partner on GWTW.
Ben Hecht - 40's-50's. An ex-Chicago newspaper writer who has become one of Hollywood's best scriptwriters and script doctors. Has never read GWTW.
Miss Poppenguhl - 30's-40's. Selznick's loyal and bright secretary, who is charged with keeping the rest of the world away.
Victor Fleming - 40's-50's. An established director with a reputation as a man's man, pulled off finishing The Wizard of Oz to save GWTW.

Non AEA. Actors paid a stipend based on box office income.

Auditions: Saturday, July 12, 1-4PM and Sunday, July 13, 7-9PM.
Callbacks Wednesday, July 16, 7PM.

Actors should be prepared to read from the script. Sides will be provided. Call for audition appointment: (415) 461-8927

Sabrina Fair by Samuel Taylor
directed by Michael Paul Pulizzano
Performances October 31—December 7, 2008

First performed by Ross Valley Players exactly 50 years ago, it’s a modern version of Cinderella set in 1950’s Long Island. Sabrina Fairchild is the daughter of the Larabee family’s chauffer, and she’s just returned home from five years in Paris to find she’s still in love with David, the youngest Larabee son. When David’s brother Linus, a cynical tycoon who controls the family fortune, discovers Sabrina’s feelings, he pulls some strings to finally bring them together. A witty play that was the basis of the 1954 movie Sabrina, starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn.
