All the world's a stage
Houston Theater Idol: Get Kinky for Carolyn Farb in open casting call
Wanna-be off-Broadway (way off Broadway) musical stars, heads up. On the horizon is your opportunity to audition for Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman for the musical comedy's world premiere stint at McGonigel's Mucky Duck.
Ted Swindley Productions in association with Carolyn Farb and Lanfour Productions will hold non-equity auditions at the Wildfish Theatre on Jan. 12 and 13 from 7-9 p.m. and on Jan. 15 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Sorry ladies, it's an all-male cast with three actors portraying Kinky at various stages in his life. Some singing is required for all three roles, one must have guitar skills. A fourth actor is needed to portray Kinky's sidekick Little Jewford. That character needs a resonant "radio announcer" voice and minimal singing skills. Keyboard and kazoo talents are optional but will probably help secure the job.
Swindley, who wrote the play and also authored Always . . . Patsy Cline, will co-direct the production that will be performed March 28-31 and April 28-May 1 at Mucky Ducky. Joining him in that position is MJ Wilson Emig, Lanfour producing director.
You might remember that Swindley and Farb presented a preview of Becoming Kinky in August at Stages Repertory Theatre. Friedman was in the audience and gave the production his approval.
Audition times can be scheduled with Lanfour Productions at 281-291-9504. Further details are available by contacting becomingkinky@gmail.com.
