Broomfield Community Players announces auditions for Let Nothing You Dismay by Topher Payne, directed by Dan Schock.
Eight actors play 22 characters in this lightning-paced holiday farce that celebrates families of all kinds. It’s Christmas, and Kevin and Allie are about to become parents- they’re just waiting for a phone call. And though they’ve asked their families to keep their distance until they bring the baby home, of course no one keeps their distance. Kevin’s father visits with his much-younger wife and their extended clan, followed by Kevin’s mother with her veterinarian, her upstairs neighbor, and her favorite author, and then Allie’s family invades, including her ultra-competitive sister, her Bubbie, and Bubbie’s gentleman friend.
