The Big Five-Oh! Auditions

Directed by Jason Wheeler

About the Show

Whoever said life is better after fifty had better be right! George Thomas is turning fifty on Saturday, and it has been a terrible week. His dog is sick, his son is a slacker, and his daughter wants to marry a Republican. With a neurotic wife and a widowed neighbor providing more challenges than even George can overcome, this may be the worst week of his life. Through these trying days, George will discover the wonders of family, the responsibilities of parenthood, and the results of his latest physical. The Big Five-Oh is a hilarious, sometimes touching account of a grown man coming to terms with his age, his relationship with his son, and his future.

This touching comedy celebrates what it really means to “grow up,” no matter your age, and we’re bringing it to life on the BeeKay stage!

If you love character-driven humor, heartfelt moments, and lively ensemble work, this is the show for you. Come audition!

Eligibility: Open to actors 18+ only
