  • Julie – (Lead, Female, Ages 20s-40s) The Chambermaid, unwittingly drawn into the fiasco, Julie has a quick wit and quicker mouth.
  • Rachel – (Lead, Female, Ages 20s-30s) In control, in command, and in the dark of her fiance's predicament. Rachel is the most competent person in the room, and she knows it. Must be comfortable with stage kisses.
  • Daphne – (Supporting, Female, Ages 40s-70s) The mother of the bride, slightly neurotic but well meaning. But what is more important to her, the wedding or her daughter?

An appalling situation: A bridegroom wakes on his wedding morning in his own bridal suite, with his bride-to-be about to arrive any moment, and finds a strange girl in bed beside him. What's more, she is an extremely attractive girl who, in the depths of his post stag-night hangover, he can't remotely remember having been introduced to. Worse, during the ensuing panic to get the stranger dressed and out of the way, the bride arrives, the girl is trapped in the bathroom, the best man must pretend that the girl is his girlfriend, his real girlfriend must be kept ignorant of the fact, and the chambermaid must pretend to be everybody's girlfriend. By the time the bride's parents and half the hotel staff get in on the act, the chaos reaches nuclear proportions.

Nathan Bashaw will be directing his first full length in Perfect Wedding. Previously, he worked as Assistant Director as well as Festival Stage Manager for The Psychic at Little Theatre Off Broadway, which was chosen to represent the State of Ohio at the regional competition of the American Association of Community Theatre. Nathan takes a naturalistic approach to directing with an emphasis on textual analyses and truthful performances. In normal life, Nathan works as a photographer specializing in real estate. If you ever find yourself browsing homes online, you've likely seen his work already!

Production Kickoff, auditions, and performances take place at:
Curtain Players Theatre

Curtain Players offers an information session for each of its productions as a help for actors seeking roles, but attendance is not required to audition. The event is an opportunity for actors to become acquainted with the community theatre organization, to discuss the play with the director, and to ask questions about the audition process, rehearsal period, and production plans. Those interested in working behind the scenes are also invited to attend.

Curtain Players conducts open auditions for its productions. Roles are not cast in advance, and, unless specified otherwise in the role's description, are open to all without regard to race or ethnicity. Casting decisions are made by the director and a casting committee comprised of (at minimum) a member of the theatre board, a general member of the organization, and individuals of the director's choosing.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, all auditioners will be given the opportunity to read multiple times, and may be given direction on performance before additional readings.

Requests for an early audition for Perfect Wedding must be made no later than October 18, 2026.

Questions related to the audition process may be directed to production@curtainplayers.org.
