Noodles Auditions Thursday, August 17 at Star Theatre

Gold Junction Presents Community Theatre is readying for its third theatrical offering with Noodles and is looking for a few fellow thespians to round out the cast.

Ned is the 30-ish son of Ma and Pa Boodle whose efforts to introduce girlfriends to his family don’t turn out very well. His family is somewhat “colorful;” his mother is a June Cleaver type at her homiest; his father is pretty clueless, his grandpa manages a cat (rescue) house; and his sister Lulu is a hypochondriac with an equally germ-o-phobic boyfriend. Also, there’s the ever-helpful Jack, who resides in a cardboard appliance box in the middle of the Boodle living room, and the neighbor, Mrs. Doodah-Doodah.

But Ned’s latest introduction of a lady friend to the family is different. Elaine sees what few others see in the family Boodle. Why? Ned was once a close part of this daffy bunch, perhaps even a little daffy himself at one time. But something has changed him. Can Elaine help? Can Ned help his family cross over into his world? With understated humor, the final scenes just might help you view your own crazed flesh and blood with a knowing smile, a kinder eye, and an open heart.

The cast is comprised of five men and six women, with backstage assistance, understudies, and set design help needed as well. An informational meeting and auditions will be held Thursday, August 17 at 6 PM at the Star Theatre, where practice and play dates will be discussed and decided.
