Amelia Musical Playhouse will be holding auditions for the Michael Presley Bobbitt comedy “Return to Sunset Village” on June 8 & 9, @ 12:00 at 1955 Island Walkway in Fernandina Beach. Performances will be in the first two weeks in August. This play is a sequel to “Sunset Village” which was successfully produced at AMP last year. All roles are open. The director is Jeff Goldberg.
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Edna Wilson: Mid 60s woman, a recent widow from a 42-year marriage to the only man she had ever kissed. She has a youthful face and the spry demeanor of a much younger woman.
Mr. Midnight (Joe): Late 60s to early 70s man with a luxurious head of hair and the swagger of a man possessed of abundant self confidence.
Louise Albright: a woman in her late 60s who looks her age and doesn’t try to hide it. She is irascible and stubborn in a down-toearth way.
Mikayla Fox: A vivacious woman in the community who will never tell her real age, though her obvious plastic surgery and heavy makeup fail a little more each day at hiding her physical decline. Even her name has been altered to give the appearance of youth.
Norma Blaine: An early 60s swinger in a happy open marriage with her dentist husband who is never seen or heard from during the play.
Tommy Miller: A man in his late 20s to early 30s, handsome and charming. He works a variety of service jobs in the Villages. He is popular with his customers and wise beyond his years.
Great Grandma Carolyne: A woman in her 80s. She walks with the use of a cane but is prone to bursts of incongruous agility. Quick to anger with a thirst for vengeance if crossed.
Curtis Morsey: CEO of RELCO, the development company that first developed Sunset Village 50 years ago, and that continues to drive the majority of the development in the area.
