Auditions for "The Curious Savage" were held last night at Swartz Creek Center Stage. About 10 people tried out this year. More then I've ever seen. We all had to read lines from ACT 1. There were so many people that we had to write down three parts that we might like to play. On Thursday when we go back the director will let us know what part she has picked for each person. How exciting! Below is a synopsis of Act One.
Act I -The play opens with the five residents of a sanatorium awaiting a new resident. The current residents of the sanatorium, called The Cloisters, function normally, excepting one small ailment. Soon, Mrs. Savage and her stepchildren arrive, and the five inmates eavesdrop from the hallway outside. Ethel's three stepchildren, Titus, Lily Belle, and Samuel Savage, had been shocked to find out that their mother had set up a memorial fund with her inherited money in order to fund the ridiculous dreams of average people. They had her committed to The Cloisters so that they could take the money from her. When Ethel's three stepchildren leave, the five inmates introduce themselves: Jeff, Florence, Fairy May, Mrs. Paddy, and Hannibal. Mrs.Savage tells them of her escapades in the theater before they all leave for Garden Hour. She then reveals to Miss Willie, her nurse, and Dr. Emmett, her doctor, that she has hidden the money that her stepchildren tried to take from her.
