About the Show
110 in the Shade is based on N Richard Nash’s 1954 play and hit 1956 movie The Rainmaker starring Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster. In the middle of a heat wave in 1930’s Texas, when everyone is longing for rain, or a breeze, Lizzie Curry is on the verge of becoming a hopeless old maid. However, when a charismatic rainmaker named Starbuck enters the town and her family’s life, Lizzie’s world is turned upside down.

Audition Requirements
For the audition, please prepare a SERIOUS dramatic monologue and a verse and/or chorus of a standard Broadway song. Please bring sheet music in the key you will sing it in (the accompanist will not transpose on the spot, and we do not do auditions with CD accompaniment or a cappella singing). The song and the monologue together should not last more than three minutes. Also, please bring a headshot and resume.
