SUMMARY:Audition Notice: The Outsider
DESCRIPTION:Written by Paul Slade Smith | Directed by Amy La Hay\nNed Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff\, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office…. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy. \nAudition Information:\nAudition Dates:\nMay 20th @6PM \nMay 23rd @11am-1pm \nPlease call the Box Office at 780-538-1616 to book an audition time or visit us in person! \nThe play features 7 roles\, offering opportunities for strong comedic actors: \n\nNed/Nancy Newley – An unelected new governor who is brilliant but painfully uncomfortable in the spotlight. A person awaiting permission to enter a room in which they are already standing.\nPaige/Peter Caldwell-A professional pollster. Smartly dressed\, but with quirky elements. A smart\, confident individual with a professional’s view of politics: they sees politics as a series of contests to be won.\nArthur/Arta Vance -A high-energy political consultant who loves spectacle. A walking storm of confidence. Their overbearing personality and confidence in their own opinions over the opinions of others\, should make them dislikable but their ego is tempered by the joy they bring into a room.\nLouise/Louis “Lou” Peakes — A well-meaning but clueless temporary employee who becomes unexpectedly popular. Personable\, likeable\, impressively confident and entirely inept. The friendliness of their smile and confident way they look you in the eye would make you think “I’d vote for them.”\nDave/Deb Riley — Ned’s loyal chief of staff\, trying to keep everything under control. Harried\, slightly disheveled\, passionate and a tad naive. Very smart but despite years of experience in government\, endearingly earnest.\nRachel/Roy Parsons – A confident TV reporter skilled at controlling narratives. Driven\, smart\, polished. The media’s voice of authority\, always aware of cameras-even when none are visible.\nA.C. Petersen — A camera operator and media assistant. Straightforward and a stand-in for the “common person”\, they see the reality instead of the image they are filming. Their near silence doesn’t make them seem unfriendly; just a bit of a mystery.\n\nEach character offers strong comedic moments and opportunities for distinct physical and verbal humor. Although some roles may be written with a specific gender/age in mind\, we are open to diversity – please audition for the character you feel you can best embody/portray/are most interested in! \nProduction Information\nGenre: Contemporary Comedy / Political Farce Running \nTime: Approximately 2 hours (including intermission) \nPerformance Dates: September 17\, 2026 to October 3\, 2026 \nRehearsal Period: Starting Late May\, with rehearsals held Monday nights\, Wednesday Nights\, Sunday afternoons. \nPlease fill out the audition form prior to your audition time\, the form can be found here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pride & Prejudice
DESCRIPTION:By Jane Kendall\n\n\n\n\n“Grande Prairie Live Theatre’s seventh play on our 63rd Season” \nGrande Prairie Live Theatre is pleased to present this wonderful adaptation of the truly memorable novel by Jane Austen. Delightful characters. Beautiful period costumes. A lavish set. \nSet in England during the approximate time of early 1800\, five daughters of the Bennet family must be married off! Was ever a mother as put upon as Mrs. Bennet? Jane falls deeply in love with the wealthy Mr. Bingley\, and it looks as if a romance is possible between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy is a very proud young man and he is shocked by mama’s vulgar matchmaking! He not only leaves for London\, but also manages to take Mr. Bingley with him. Jane is heartbroken. Finally\, Mr. Darcy returns to propose to Elizabeth. She promptly refuses and berates him for taking Mr. Bingley away and hurting Jane. The attraction between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy eventually triumphs over the pride of one and the prejudice of the other. \nWhy should someone see Pride and Prejudice?  \nWell\, for starters\, “Everyone gets their just desserts.” The novel delivers satisfying payoffs for every character\, with witty twists and charming resolutions that leave you with a deep sense of satisfaction. It’s the perfect blend of clever satire\, lovable characters\, and sharp social commentary. If you’re looking for “the best kind of comfort food\,” this is it. The kind that makes you laugh\, swoon\, and think all at once. It’s “hella’ amazing!” The beauty of Austen’s writing lies in her character development. The way she brings her characters to life with all their flaws and contradictions feels remarkably modern. You’ll fall for Darcy’s brooding charm just as you’ll love Elizabeth’s spirited independence. Every relationship—whether romantic or familial—is infused with humor\, warmth\, and complexity. Austen’s playful wordplay and razor-sharp dialogue create a rhythm that’s as engaging as it is delightful. Through her vivid portrayal of Regency-era England\, Pride and Prejudice gives readers an insightful glimpse into the complexities of 18th-century life. Yet\, it’s the timeless themes of love\, misunderstanding\, and personal growth that make this novel universally appealing. Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship unfolds with all the tension and sweetness of a modern romantic comedy\, while the social satire still feels as sharp and relevant as ever. \nIn short\, if you’re looking for a story that’s clever\, lovely\, funny\, romantic\, and full of heart\, Pride and Prejudice is the book for you. It’s a perfect blend of timeless themes and modern sensibilities\, making it a classic that never goes out of style. \nProduced with the authority of: \nDramatic Publishing\n311 Washington St.\nWoodstock\, IL 60098-3308 \nEmail: customerservice@dpcplays.com \nDirected by Linnea Fletcher \nShowtimes\n\nThursday May 7\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nFriday May 8\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nSaturday May 9\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nThursday May 14\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nFriday May 15\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nSaturday May 16\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nThursday May 21\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nFriday May 22\, 2026 – 07:30PM \nSaturday May 23\, 2026 – 07:30PM
