Auditions are tomorrow! Perfect For You Productions is excited to announce our inaugural production of CALVIN BERGER, in cooperation with Yucaipa Little Theatre. Calvin Berger Book, Music & Lyrics by Barry Wyner Orchestration by Doug Besterman Original Direction by Kathleen Marshall Scene Change Music Arranged by Aron Accurso Synopsis (Courtesy of Tams-Witmark): “Based loosely on the timeless play, Cyrano de Bergerac, CALVIN BERGER is the hip and hilarious story of unrequited feelings, love notes, and physical insecurity among four high school seniors. Calvin is smitten by the beautiful Rosanna, but he feels insecure because of the size of his nose. Rosanna, in turn, is attracted to the good-looking newcomer, Matt, who is painfully shy and inarticulate around her, although the attraction is mutual. Hoping to get closer to Rosanna through his eloquent love notes, Calvin offers to be Matt’s speech writer, all the while ignoring the signals of attraction from another girl, his best friend, Bret. When the deception unravels, everybody’s friendship is seriously jeopardized, but Calvin eventually realizes that his preoccupation with his appearance had led him astray, and his eyes are opened to Bret, who was there all along.” Seeking: CALVIN: A high-school age boy who is charming, witty and lovable, but does not have traditional good looks (pref. has a big nose). Must have impeccable comic timing. Good models for type: McLovin from Superbad, Ferris Bueller, Jon Cryer in Pretty in Pink, Anthony Michael Hall in The Breakfast Club. Baritone, pleasant sound but need not be polished, up to F#. MATT: A very handsome high school-age guy. Muscular, macho, athletic, happy-go-lucky, likable, earnest. Can be a loveable meathead (Stifler from American Pie), or a pretty-boy jock (Zac Efron in High School Musical), or an ultra-cool dude (James Dean, The Fonz). Bari-tenor with a confortable G, who can belt a few loud As, too. ROSANNA: A beautiful, high-school age girl. Ingénue type with cheerleader good looks and a girl-next -door sweetness. Likeable and able to show vulnerability. Beautiful voice, soprano or mixey high belt. Auditions will be held on Tuesday 6/17 from 6-10pm. Please bring a headshot/resume and prepare 32 bars of a song in the style of the show. You may be asked to stay to read sides from the show. An accompanist will be provided.
