Rivercity Players

Our mission: enriching the creative culture of the community  through the performing arts.

Winner of the Samuel French Best Canadian Play award, this laugh-out-loud production follows Isobel Lomax, played by Christina Peterson and Dolly Biddle, played by Julie Rigby, as two cable-access cooking show hosts who have loathed each other for decades. When a public, insult-hurling brawl on set turns them into an overnight viral sensation, a producer jumps at the chance to give them their own joint show: The Kitchen Witches. The problem? They still can’t stand each other. As the flour flies, the insults get hotter, and the ratings soar, the duo proves that revenge is a dish best served live on air.


Joining the fray is Joel Loeve as Dolly’s long-suffering producer son, Stephen, along with an energetic camera gal played by Cielo Richardson ready to turn the theater into a live television studio.


Directed by Melony Larre, the production brings high-stakes rivalries, fast-paced slapstick, and plenty of heart to the local stage.


The Kitchen Witches will run on the Rivercity Stage October 14,15,16,17,21, 22, 23, 24 at 7:30 PM and October 18 and 24 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $27 available online now at www.rivercitytickets.ca

10am - 2pm


Preparing for the Audition. Preparing for the Performance.

 


WHAT IS THE DIRECTOR LOOKING FOR?

 

What can you do to win that audition for that role that you really want? We will explore a list of tactics to greatly improve your chances, both as a competitor in an audition process and an actor in the rehearsal process. Because a lot of what you display in the audition shows what the director can expect from you if she/he gives you the part.

 

You must earn it! So, let’s explore how…

 

Please bring:

  • your own reusable water bottle

  • snacks and/or lunch

  • one monologue of your own choice (I will bring another one for you)

  • a way to take notes!

     

Come prepared to have fun!
