THE DETAILS

Company Theatre's November 7 - 22, 2025 production will be The Cemetary Club by Ivan Menchell.  "A comedy to die for". Auditons this Saturday August 9th at 10.30am. 

The Cast:

4 W and 1 M, all in their late 50s-70s.

SYNOPSIS:

Every month without fail Ida, Lucille and Doris meet up for tea before visiting their husbands’ graves. Fun-loving bombastic Lucille and haughty judgemental Doris sense romance brewing when Sam enters the scene, and Ida - sweet and optimistic - sees Sam as a chance for a fresh start in life. But in true rom-com fashion, Lucille and Doris take it upon themselves to snip this romance in the bud.
We're looking for actors with high energy & a love of comedy to audition for this lovely poignant comedy - truly ‘a comedy to die for’! New York Jewish accents will be needed.

Characters:

*Doris: Outspoken, has a nice line in put-downs, inclined to be judgemental. The most resistant to change of the three friends.
*Ida: Funny, sensitive, generally sweet-tempered, though she can be quite sharp. The most self-aware of the women.
*Lucille: Extravagant, extrovert, tactless, man-conscious. Despite her brittle surface, perhaps the most vulnerable of the women.
*Sam: Kind, thoughtful, good-humoured with rather a wry sense of humour.
*Mildred: In her one scene, Mildred certainly makes an impact!
