The Lion in Winter
by James Goldman
Set over Christmas of 1183, The Lion in Winter recounts Henry II's effort to choose a worthy successor. Like many a modern-day politician, Britain's King Henry II finds it occasionally useful to take his wife out of mothballs and parade her before the public. Henry's Queen Eleanor, long exiled to a faraway castle, is "invited" to join Henry and their three sons for a family reunion. In this way, Henry hopes to maintain a stronghold on his Empire and to prevent the balance of power from shifting to Eleanor or to one of his sons: Richard the Lion-Hearted, Prince Geoffrey, or Prince John. Also on hand for the get-together is Henry's mistress Princess Alais -- who covets the King's influence -- and the Princess' brother, King Philip of France. Despite Henry's efforts to keep his wife and offspring at arms' length (and away from the throne), Eleanor successfully reunites the brood, assuring that her power will not only be restored, but will last long after her death

Everyone is always encouraged to audition.
No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theater has many other slots to fill before a
production is ready for an audience. Some are: build sets; write
publicity; box office; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props;
costumes; and on and on and on. So come and find out more about this fun
and fulfilling community group!
So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play with several
other actors.
Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be
available to rehearse.
If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons director's cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
