About the Play: Set in a secluded spot in New York's Central Park, the play is about two octogenarians determined to fight off all attempts to put them out to pasture. Talk about an odd couple! Nat is a lifelong radical determined to fight injustice real or imagined who is also something of a spinner of fantasies. He has a delightful repertoire of eccentric personas, which makes the role an actor's dream. The other half of this unlikely partnership is Midge, a Black apartment super who spends his days in the park hiding out from tenants, who want him to retire.

A Tony Award Winning Play by Herb Gardner: Inspired by two elderly men Gardner met in New York City’s Central Park, it focuses on Nat Moyer, a cantankerous Jew and Midge Carter, a feisty African American, who spend their days sitting on a bench, trying to mask the horrible realities of aging, mainly through the tall tales that Nat spins. The play touches on several issues, including society’s treatment of the aging, the difficulties dealing with adult children who think they know what's best for their parents, and the dangers that lurk in urban areas. A Tony Award Winning Play by Herb Gardner: Inspired by two elderly men Gardner met in New York City’s Central Park, it focuses on Nat Moyer, a cantankerous Jew and Midge Carter, a feisty African American, who spend their days sitting on a bench, trying to mask the horrible realities of aging, mainly through the tall tales that Nat spins. The play touches on several issues, including society’s treatment of the aging, the difficulties dealing with adult children who think they know what's best for their parents, and the dangers that lurk in urban areas. Its title comes from an old vaudeville joke, a variation of which evolved into dialogue between the two protagonists: •Nat: Hey, Rappaport! I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been? •Midge: I'm not Rappaport. •Nat: Rappaport, what happened to you? You used to be a short fat guy, and now you're a tall skinny guy. •Midge: I'm not Rappaport. •Nat: Rappaport, you used to be a young guy with a beard, and now you're an old guy with a mustache. •Midge: I'm not Rappaport. •Nat: Rappaport, how has this happened? You used to be a cowardly little white guy, and now you're a big imposing black guy. •Midge: I'm not Rappaport. •Nat: And you changed your name, too! Auditions for Carroll County Community Theatre’s Death of a Salesman, by Arthur Miller, July 21 and 22 in the Choral Rehearsal Room at 7 p.m. Parts are available for 8 men and 5 women. About the play: Death of a Salesman is one of Arthur Miller’s most famous and commonly revived works. The play is often viewed by many as a caustic attack on the American dream of achieving wealth and success without regard for principle. More importantly, at its wounded heart, this is a play about a family adrift. It leaves us pondering the explosive mix of love, contempt and seething anger that at times pulls the Loman family together and at other times hurls them apart. Death of a Salesman made both Arthur Miller and the character Willy Loman household names. The debut of Salesman was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949, the 1949 Tony Award for Best Play, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. Death of a Salesman is the first play in history to win all three major awards. Produced worldwide, the searing drama confirmed Miller as an internationally-known playwright. Production dates are September 25-27 at 7:30 and Sunday September 28 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $10.

Parts are available for 7 men and 12 women. About the musical: Into the Woods blends various familiar fairy tales with an original story of a childless Baker and his Wife, who catalyze the action of the story by attempting to reverse a curse on their family in order to have a child. Book by: James Lapine Lyrics and Music by: Stephen Sondheim Based on Classic Fairy Tales An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? A Witch...who raps? They're all among the cockeyed characters in James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. With plenty of unforgettable roles, transpositions on demand and no chorus, “Into The Woods” is a great way to showcase a talented ensemble cast. One of Sondheim's most popular works, this timeless yet relevant piece is a rare modern classic. Production dates are March 26-28 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 29 at 2 p.m. This musical is rated PG due to some adult themes. For more information call 770-838-1083.
