Auditions: The Play That Goes Wrong

Racine Theatre Guild is holding open auditions for The Play That Goes Wrong, a play-within-a-play that follows the Cornley Drama Society’s attempt to stage The Murder at Haversham Manor as a chain of onstage blunders and physical mishaps spirals out of control. Lines are flubbed, the leading lady is sidelined, the supposed corpse refuses to stay still, and even the crew gets pulled into the turmoil as everything that can go wrong does. Casting is open to adults 18 and older from all backgrounds, and no prior experience is required. The production is physically demanding, with many roles involving crawling, balancing, climbing, lifting, running, and falling. Roles include Annie, the company stage manager; Sandra, who portrays Florence Colleymoore; Trevor, the lighting and sound operator; Chris, the head of the society and a first-time director who appears as Inspector Carter; Jonathan as Charles Haversham; Robert as Thomas Colleymoore; Dennis as Perkins; Max as Cecil Haversham and the gardener, along with opportunities for stage crew. Director Douglas Instenes will conduct auditions at the Racine Theatre Guild. No appointment is necessary, and participants only need to attend once. Auditions consist of cold readings from the script. Scripts may be borrowed in advance from the box office with a refundable $10 deposit. Rehearsals are coordinated to respect availability, and performers are not typically called to every session.

A live cookie decorating competition hosted by Icing Queens in collaboration with Inclusive Bean takes over The Inclusive Bean with a fast-paced showdown featuring local decorators, hobbyists, past class participants, and highlighted bakeries. Contestants face three elimination challenges before an in-person crowd and online viewers.

Finalists close out the event by crafting a mini cookie set inspired by a surprise theme, with top placements on the line and the champion’s crown at stake. Throughout the program, the audience can purchase playful sabotages as donation add-ons that benefit Inclusive Bean, and a spinning wheel randomly assigns who must adapt on the spot, which could mean losing a color, decorating with one hand, or swapping tools. The entire experience will also be streamed live. Competitor tickets are 40 dollars and include entry, a drink from Inclusive Bean, snacks, and a chance to compete for prizes and bragging rights. Spectator tickets are 10 dollars and include a drink, snacks, the ability to vote and participate in sabotages, and a close-up view of the action.
