Auditions set for ‘The Explorer’s Club,’ Olympic Theatre Arts’ season-opening comedy

Auditions for “The Explorer’s Club,” Olympic Theatre Arts’ first Main Stage show of the 2017-2018 live theater season, will be at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 16, and 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, at Olympic Theatre Arts Center, 414 N. Sequim Ave.

Director Olivia Shea is looking to fill a cast of eight men and one woman for this fast-paced Victorian spoof set in the late 1800s. The plot centers on an all-male Explorer’s Club in which the president has proposed a woman for membership.

Shea is welcoming all ages to audition. Using British accents is strongly recommended. She also suggests that the candidates wear comfortable clothing, in preparation for some activities during the auditioning process.

Copies of the script are available from the OTA business office, from 1-5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

“The Explorer’s Club” runs weekends from Oct. 20-Nov. 5. Rehearsals will begin in September and there will be some table readings during the last week in August.

For any more information or to schedule an alternate audition date, call the OTA office at 360-683-7326.
