Auditions For Dreamgirls http://www.york.cuny.edu/events/auditions-for-dreamgirls York College Theatre announces auditions for DREAMGIRLS with music by Henry Krieger and lyrics and book by Tom Eyen. What to Prepare: Please prepare one fast song and one slow song (16 bars each), in the style/genre of Motown, but no songs from the show. The selections should show your vocal and acting skills as well as your ability to move to the music. Please bring your printed sheet music (in the key you plan to sing) and a current performance resume.

Prepared monologues are not necessary, but the audition may require a cold reading. Callbacks take place on Thursday, December 20 from 5-8pm and those who are called back should be prepared to perform a song from DREAMGIRLS.

DREAMGIRLS is a show about a time in American musical history when what is called rhythm and blues blended with other styles of popular music creating a new American sound. Act One is set in the fabulous sixties-a time when we were still screaming at Elvis and listening to the Beatles, but were dancing to the new beat of countless girl and boy groups like The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Temptations and The Shirelles. Act Two shows the creation and the arrival of disco-though the word is never used in the script. The subject matter of this play deals with a musical contribution to America of such importance that only now-two decades later-are we beginning to understand.

Rehearsals begin in mid January. The show runs May 3rd – May 12th, 2013 in the York College Performing Arts Center, Auditorium.

After a five-year self-imposed absence, Julio César, a young man with a buried secret, returns home after the death of his father. Over the course of two evenings, mother and son, two estranged generations of Dominicans living in a now gentrified upper west side, attempt to rekindle the love and appreciation for each other and their roots; but Julio César soon realizes he isn’t the only one with a secret. Unexpected revelations threaten to destroy an already thin bond between mother and child. El amor de una madre no conoce barreras... Después de cinco años de ausencia, Julio César, un joven cargando un secreto bien guardado, regresa a casa después de la muerte de su padre.  En el transcurso de dos noches madre e hijo, dos diferentes generaciones de Dominicanos viviendo en un barrio antes repleto de latinos pero ahora aburguesado, chocan y batallan por sus identidades, su amor mutuo y el aprecio por sus raices.  Pero Julio César pronto se da cuenta que no es el único con un secreto.  Inesperadas revelaciones atentan romper el ya debilitado vínculo entre madre e hijo.

La Luz de Un Cigarrillo

Directed by Timothy J. Amrhein

Many believe the bulk of the Dominican American experience in New York City lies in Washington Heights, but in the unexpected corners of now gentrified upper mid-town are remnants of what once was: Lucecita Ortensia Cruz is one of only a handful of Dominican immigrants that stubbornly remains in this neighborhood.

A sudden death in the family forces her son, Julio César, to return to the City after a five year self-imposed absence.  In the course of two nights they attempt to rekindle the love and appreciation for each other and their Dominican roots.  But hidden secrets are unexpectedly revealed and threaten to destroy an already thin bond.

Muchos creen que la mayor parte de la experiencia dominicana se encuentra en la ciudad de NuevaYork en Washington Heights, pero aun queda una huella de lo que antes fue en las equinas distinguidas del upper mid-town. Lucecita Ortensia Cruz es una de las pocas personas de los muchos inmigrantes dominicanas que aun viven en el barrio.

Una muerte inesperada entre la familia causa que al disgusto de Julio César, el hijo de Luzecita, regrese a la cuidad después de su ausencia de cinco años. Después de su llegada, Lucecita y Julio tratan de renovar el amor entre los dos y de sus raíces, pero unos secretos salen a la luz y amenazan destruir la relación entre ellos.

Under the direction of Professor Timothy J. Amrhein, this production will feature the evocative set designs of David T. Jones, built by York College students under the direction of CLT Garth Belcon.  It also features the vivid lighting of guest designer, Daniel Winter.  CLT, Jessica Pecharsky, member of Actor’s Equity Association, rounds off the list as production/stage manager and choreographer.

The cast of LA LUZ DE UN CIGARRILLO features a cast of 4 talented students: Francis Madi, Daniel Anthony Hidalgo, Fior Peralta and Katherine Rodriguez.

Performances in English begin October 26 at 4PM, and continue running on October 27 at 2PM; and October 30 at 12noon.  Performances in Spanish begin October 27 at 8PM; October 28 at 3pm; and conclude November 1 at 12noon.

Come meet the playwright, Marco Antonio Rodriguez, on October 26 and October 27 immediately following the performance.
