ABOUT THE SHOW:
Although the title of this play may give the impression that it is about death, THE CEMETERY CLUB is a warm and witty dramatic comedy about relishing life and embracing one’s loves and relationships along the way. The play centers around three widows who have been meeting once a month for tea before visiting their husbands’ graves, and explores how they are challenged and their friendships are tested, especially when a widower unexpectedly enters the scene. Join us in the intimate Cellar space for a very touching, very funny play that will leave an impression on your heart long after you’ve left the theater.
A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR:
I’m thrilled to be bringing The Cemetery Club to the Cellar. At 4CP, we’re fortunate to have a vibrant community of actors spanning many generations. The Cemetery Club gives us the rare and wonderful opportunity to center three dynamic, complex, and resilient women over 50 at the heart of the story. While the play thoughtfully explores love, loss, and the courage it takes to start again, it also offers mature actresses the chance to inhabit rich, fully realized roles that demand emotional depth, sharp comedic timing, and genuine connection. I’m excited to collaborate with our community to bring these unforgettable characters to life and to create a space where talented actresses over 50 can shine. The Cemetery Club is ultimately a celebration of enduring friendship, second chances, and the power of stories that honor a generation of women who are too often underrepresented. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help tell this story and share it with our amazing 4CP community.

Four County Players invites you to auditions for…
HARVEY
By Mary Chase
Directed by Stephanie Finn
AUDITIONS: Sunday, November 8 and Monday, November 9 at Village School in Downtown Charlottesville – BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. See details below for how to sign up.
CALLBACKS: Wednesday, November 11 at 7PM in the Cellar at Four County Players – BY INVITATION ONLY.
REHEARSALS: Initial read-thru(s) in December. Regular rehearsals are Mon – Thurs evenings, and Sun afternoons OR evenings beginning in January 2027. Exact schedule based on cast availability.
PERFORMANCES (9 shows over 3 weeks): March 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8PM and March 7, 14, 21 at 2:30PM
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, HARVEY is one of the most treasured plays in the American theatre, and has the distinction of being one of longest-running comedies in Broadway and West End history, as well as adapted into multiple film adaptations – most notably the 1950 film starring Jimmy Stewart. This endearing and hilarious play tells the story of the charming Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend, Harvey, who happens to be a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit. Elwood’s choice of friends doesn’t mesh with the socialite lifestyle of his sister, Veta, who is determined to save her family’s reputation (and her brother’s sanity). What follows is both a comedy of errors and a touching family drama about accepting and loving each other for who we truly are.

ABOUT AUDITIONS:
Director Stephanie Finn is looking for a talented, diverse cast AGES 18 AND UP to play the roles described at THIS LINK: https://shorturl.at/RXQpD
Initial auditions will consist of individual monologues. You may perform a monologue of your choosing (no longer than 2 minutes), or you may choose one of the provided monologues from the show in the folder linked below. If you choose to perform a monologue from HARVEY, it does not necessarily need to be for a character you are interested in. Memorization is not required, but we strongly encourage you to be comfortable with the piece you are choosing. After you have performed your monologue, you are free to leave. HARVEY monologues can be found in this folder: https://shorturl.at/jjYt5
Scene readings will be at callbacks, so there is nothing to prepare in that regard for initial auditions, but Stephanie recommends that you familiarize yourself with the story and the script if possible. Copies of the script are available upon request (email auditions@fourcp.org).
