ABOUT THIS ACTOR'S CAFE PRODUCTION: BLEACHER BUMS

BLEACHER BUMS is a 1977 play written collaboratively by members of Chicago's Organic Theater Company,
from an idea by actor Joe Mantegna.

Directed by Andy Meyers
Assistant-directed by Walt Versen

In the bleachers at Chicago's Wrigley Field, die-hard Cub fans root for their team. The group includes a rabid cheerleader, a blind man who follows the game by transistor radio and does his own play by play, a bathing beauty, a nerd and various other bleacher denizens. As the game proceeds, they bet among themselves on every conceivable event, go out for frosty malts or beers, try to pick up the bathing beauty and, occasionally, watch the game. The Cubs inevitably blow it in the ninth and the villainous Marvin, who always bets against the Cubs figuring he can't lose, cleans up. The Bleacher Bums remain undaunted, they will be back tomorrow to root for the home team. (Concord Theatricals)

Run dates: Saturday, March 5, through Sunday, April 3

This is an adult production. Audition submissions will be accepted from individuals ages 16 and up. No roles have been pre-cast. Actors of all backgrounds, ethnicities, sizes, physical abilities, and genders (conforming and non-conforming) are encouraged to audition. All characters are bigger than life personalities, but also need to be very honest and truthful. It is a wonderful opportunity for a diverse group of actors to create a robust and spirited assortment of humans.

For the safety of all involved, masks will be required for callbacks (as well as during the rehearsal period). A negative PCR Covid-19 test result (less than 72 hours old) before callbacks is required. Once cast, you will be required to provide a weekly PCR Covid-19 test result.

Auditions will consist of:
1. This DST Google Audition Form. (please be completely honest with your outdates)
2. Headshot and Resume (digital copy or link is acceptable).
3. Comedic video monologue - two to three minutes long. Please do not do a monologue from Bleacher Bums (if you can even find one!)
