Church and State by Jason Odell Williams Acme Theater announces open auditions for Church & State by Jason Odell Williams, directed by Dave Sheppard. [https://mcusercontent.com/5f2e17fceb0096cfcb074abef/images/1da1018b-ed55-bcdd-d3b1-540a32f763db.jpeg] The Story: Church & State is a sharp, funny, and heartfelt play that asks big questions about faith, politics, and honesty through the lens of one very bad campaign weekend. Just days before his re-election, a North Carolina senator makes an offhand remark about God and guns, throwing his team and his marriage into chaos. This timely dramedy is fast, witty, and surprisingly moving, perfect for audiences who love smart, character-driven theatre. Performance Dates: January 23 - February 7 (Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 3pm) Audition Details: November 16 and November 19 at 7:00pm Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Familiarity with the play is recommended but not necessary. Available Roles: Senator Charles Whitmore (40s–50s) A well-liked Republican senator from North Carolina, he is honest, grounded, and a little too candid for his own good. He's starting to question what he believes and what he has been told to believe. He is smart, sincere, with a quiet wit and a strong moral compass that may or may not get him re-elected. Sara Whitmore (30s–40s) Charles's wife is a Southern firecracker: funny, outspoken, and full of heart. She is proud, polished, and always camera-ready, but underneath the charm is a woman who has seen pain and channels it into purpose. A born performer with bite, she is best described as a blend of Southern belle meets political pit bull. An accent helps, but honesty matters more. Alex Klein (20s–40s) Charles's campaign manager is a fast-talking, sharp-thinking New Yorker who lives on caffeine and damage control. She's always two steps ahead and one nervous breakdown away from an ulcer. She is fierce, funny, and ferociously professional, but there's a soft spot under the armor. Timing and verbal dexterity are key to the role. Tom (30s–50s) Plays multiple roles. A quick-change chameleon with comic timing and range. A great role for an actor who loves character work and variety. * Tom: earnest campaign staffer trying to keep up. * Reporter: sharp, skeptical, hungry for the headline. * Security Guard: polite, no-nonsense, steady. * Blogger: snarky, self-important, and slightly awkward. All roles offer great opportunities for humor and heartfelt moments. Rehearsals: Rehearsals will begin shortly after casting and typically run 3 nights a week. Rehearsals are based on actor availability, so please be sure to list all known conflicts on your audition form. More information: For more information, email the director at [email protected]. Come join us for this funny, thought-provoking, and heartfelt play about faith, truth, and the courage to speak your mind, even when it costs you everything.
