| Full Monty Audition Notice: Dewdney Players Group Theatre Dewdney Players Group Theatre is seeking male and female actors (ages 20 - 50+) and one male youth actor (Age 12-14ish) to fill roles for the upcoming production of Simon Beaufoy’s original play THE FULL MONTY. Please contact the director Sherene Seders at sds9902@gmail.com if you have any questions ABOUT THE SHOW: While spying on their wives at a "Girls' Night Out," a group of unemployed steelworkers sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they're stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to "let it go." All roles are open to audition.
