Please close your snack trays and bring your seat backs to an upright position: Somerset Valley Players will hold auditions for "Boeing Boeing," high-flying farce of the swinging '60s, in a little over a week.Free-spirited lothario Bernard has three fiancees, one Italian, one German and one American, all beautiful airline hostesses 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.
Female auditionees will need Italian, German, French or New York accents; and be comfortable in high-heeled shoes. All actors must be comfortable with physical comedy.
| Bernard (30s+) | An American architect living in Paris. Handsome, well-educated, charming, and engaged to three air hostesses whom he manages to keep in the dark about one another by managing their visits on a strict timetable. Takes boyish pleasure in the success of his devious doings, until his careful planning starts to fall apart, deflating his confidence. |
| Robert (30s+) | Bernard's schoolmate from back in the States; hasn't seen Bernard in many years. Shy, small-town, Midwestern, and sweet– a nerd by today's standards. Views Bernard's whirlwind juggling act of three fiancées with awe and admiration until he gets wrapped up in it himself and his anxiety spins out of control.
