Our Performing Arts Academy is producing the play, Pride and Prejudice. We had auditions two weeks ago and they went really well. Our biggest challenge, as it always is, is not having enough male actors to audition. At this time we have cast every character except Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bennet. Both are really great roles. We are now holding auditions for these roles by appointment. We are seeking two male actors to play either Mr. Bennet or Mr. Darcy (Ages 16 to 25).
For more information, please have the actors who are interested in these parts call Julie Nagy, the Director of Education, at 732-528-9224 or they can e-mail Julie@algonquinarts.org.
MR. BENNET
He is a man of culture and taste, whose sense of humor has helped to carry him through some twenty-five years of marriage with his frivolous and irresponsible wife. He is handsome, with graying hair and a courteous and pleasing manner. His manner of speaking varies from dry humor to elaborate sarcasm, yet he is devoted to the real interests of his family, although he is slow to take action. This role calls for an actor with excellent comic timing and the ability to “tune out” and focus on a book.
MR. FITZWILLIAM
DARCY He is a little older than Mr. Bingley, and a great deal richer. He is tall, handsome and aristocratic in appearance, but his manner is cold and stiff. He is secretly just as much attracted by Elizabeth as Mr. Bingley is by Jane, but he is too intelligent not to recognize her mother’s lack of refinement, and so resists her as long as he can. This role requires the typical “leading man”—tall, good-looking with regal bearing and the air of aristocracy about him.
