About The Show:

This 1960s French farce adapted for the English-speaking stage features self-styled Parisian lothario Bernard, who has Italian, German and American fiancées, each a beautiful airline hostess with frequent “layovers.” He keeps “one up, one down, and one pending” – until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris, and Bernard’s apartment, at the same time.

The Characters:

 

BERNARD

• Male, 20s to 40s

• An American bachelor who resides in Paris, working as an architect. Bernard has the air of a "ladies man who believes he has the women figured out. He is charming and attractive, but a seductive scoundrel. He is engaged to all three air hostesses, and uses flight timetables to keep "one up, one down, and one pending," ensuring the women are never in his apartment at the same time. He is proud of his deception, until it starts to unravel (along with his confidence).

 

ROBERT

• Male, 20s to 40s

• An old friend of Bernard's who travels to Paris from Wisconsin. A shy, sweet, small-town boy, Robert initially disproves of Bernard's situation - though he can admit it has its advantages. He admires Bernard's ability to keep things balanced. Soon, however, Robert is caught up in the game himself, trying to keep Bernard's plan intact and stop his own anxiety from spinning out of control. (Extreme physical comedy.)

 

BERTHE

• Female, non-specific age

• Bernard's French housekeeper. Berthe is an obedient and meticulous maid, which makes her integral to Bernard's charade, but she isn't shy about voicing her growing dissatisfaction with Bernard's revolving-door lifestyle. Wonderfully sarcastic and blunt; also exhausted and exasperated. (slight French accent required.)

 

GLORIA

• Female, 20s to 40s

• Bernard's American fiancée with a strong appetite for love, success, and unique food. She is an air hostess for TWA. Playfully cunning, confident, strong-willed, and not afraid to speak her mind. Politically progressive for the 60s, and is often offended when people do not share her opinion.

 

GABRIELLA

• Female, 20s to 40s

• Bernard's Italian fiancée. She is an air hostess for Alitalia. Feisty and seductive, she is incredibly smart and much more independent than she initially appears. (Slight Italian accent required.)

 

GRETCHEN

• Female, 20s to 40s

• Bernard's German fiancée. She is an air hostess for Lusthansa. Dominating but loving, she is full of intense passion that can switch between soft and sweet to loud and destructive in a moment. She is both intimidating and extremely attractive. (Slight German accent required.)

 

 

**Dialects not required for the initial audition, but they will be added during the callback and rehearsal process. However, if you believe it will not hinder your reading of the material, we'd love to hear the accent at auditions.

 

PLEASE NOTE - This is an extremely fast paced farce which requires actors with impeccable timing and strong verbal and physical comedy skills.

 

All rehearsals and performances will be at the Canyon Theatre Guild in Old Town Newhall.
