Auditions for The Dinner Party by Neil Simon on Monday and Tuesday

City Park Players - Auditions for The Dinner Party by Neil Simon on Monday and Tuesday
– August 18 and 19 at 6:00pm at Bringhurst Park Theatre
– 1802 Sylvester Street, Alexandria, LA
– Director – Ed Reed
3 men and 3 women needed to explore the follies of love with all its brittle nuances.
THE DINNER PARTY, Neil Simon’s thirty-first play, is a decidedly French dinner party served up in a chaotic mode that only a master of comedy could create. Five people are invited to dine at a first rate restaurant in Paris. They do not know who the other guests will be or why they have been invited. Tossed together in a private dining room, they have a sneaking suspicion that this unorthodox dinner party will forever change their lives. The evening is filled with playful antics, sudden zaniness and masterful comic dialogue as the mystery unfolds. John Ritter and Henry Winkler starred in the wildly successful Kennedy Center production and on Broadway.

"Frequently hilarious but also dangerously serious.... An invitation you [will be] glad you accepted."---N.Y. Post.
