We'd love to tell you who's going to be starring in our next performance, but we don't even know. Maybe it will be you!
Our auditions are all "cold reads," meaning that no preparation is necessary. If you feel inclined to get a jump on the competition, many scripts are available from the Toledo Public Library. Headshots and résumés are not required, however they are always welcome. We provide a brief information sheet that you will need to complete in order to audition. So what are you waiting for?!
If you know of anyone who might like to be added to The Village Players' e-mail or postcard audition list please send us an e-mail at VPlayers@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

The Story: |
Here is classical theater at it’s funniest, wisest, and most engaging ever. In the battle of the sexes, who trains who? Brothers, Sganarelle and Ariste are guardians to two sisters, Isabelle and Léonor. The brothers have two very different theories of how to school their wards. The stern and repressive upbringing that Sganarelle imposes on his charge is in direct contrast to the loving treatment his brother, Ariste gives to his own young ward. Molière deliciously shows us that Sganarelle's folly is no match for a woman's resourcefulness. |

The Story: |
[title of show] is a musical about two nobodies named Hunter and Jeff who decide to write a completely original musical starring themselves and their attractive and talented ladyfriends, Susan and Heidi. Their musical, [title of show], gets into the New York Musical Theatre Festival, and becomes a hit. Then it gets an off-Broadway production at the Vineyard Theatre, and wins three Obie Awards! Then (drumroll if you've got a drum) it's announced that their musical is going to Broadway (hooray!) and people start seeing this blurb everywhere! They read that The New York Times called [title of show]"DELECTABLE ENTERTAINMENT! A postmodern homage to the grand tradition of backstage musicals like Babes in Arms, Kiss Me, Kate and A Chorus Line." Fully intrigued, those people snatch up tickets and help make Hunter and Jeff's life-long dream come true! |
