Audition Pack AUDITION PACK Please read all instructions carefully 1 ABOUT ‘HUNCHBACK’ What makes a monster and what makes a man? This is the central theme of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a sweeping, grand-scale musical from Disney Theatrical. Based on the 1996 Disney film and Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his desire to one day be a part of the outside world. When he summons the courage to attend the Feast of Fools, he meets Esmeralda, a compassionate gypsy who protects him from an angry mob. But at the same time, Quasimodo’s master, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the new captain of the guard, Phoebus de Martin, fall in love with the beautiful girl. Adding to Quasimodo’s struggle is his punishment and derision from Frollo, following years of psychological abuse, and the danger posed by the gypsies, who are willing to kill any outsiders who venture into their secret hideout. But before Paris is burned to the ground, will Quasimodo be able to save Esmeralda from Frollo’s lust and anger? Will she return Quasimodo’s affection? Who is the true monster of Notre Dame?

  • Hunchback of Notre Dame’ a Hit for Town and Country Players Share This
    Tweet 0 Share Lambertville passes comprehensive plastic ban ordinance Front Page Around Town Arts Entertainment Dining Out Events Subscribe Home Subscribe Published On: Thu, Sep 20th, 2018 Front Page | By Charlie Sahner Amazing acting makes ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ a hit for Town and Country Players Share This Tags Hunchback of Notre Dametown and country players By John Dwyer My hands were sore from clapping and my voice was raspy from cheering after seeing “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” at Town and Country Players in Buckingham. I was bowled over by the performances, which I will go into further, and by director John Neuman’s utilization of the stage. Not only did he magically re-create Notre Dame and the streets of Paris in the limited space available to him, but he also moved a large cast through that space with a sure hand. All the elements of this show came together so well that time whisked by during the two-and-a-half-hour performance. Of course, who would ever want to leave the streets of Paris and this group of charming performers, regardless of the tragedy that gets told? The show has music by Alan Mencken (“Beauty and the Beast,” “Little Mermaid,” “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Sister Act”), and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,””Pippin” and “Wicked”). The show was commissioned by Walt Disney. The focus of the story is much changed in the current musical adaptation. The original book had large portions describing the setting, i.e. the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Author Victor Hugo was writing this tale, in large part, to celebrate its Gothic architecture and to preserve the building intact in the face of those who wanted to “improve” it and make it more contemporary.

  • November 22, 2020 – Christ the King and Thanksgiving
    CHRIST THE KING SUNDAY & THANKSGIVING November 22, 2020 Matthew 25:36-41 UMC Geneva IL What comes to mind when you hear the words “KinG” and “KinGdom?” Do you think of Walt Disney’s MaGical Kingdom? Or Perhaps the British Royal family? I noticed on TV that yet another movie is slated to be released depicting the life of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Perhaps some of you envisioned a stately gentleman seated on a royal throne, wearinG a Golden crown, scePter in hand , decKed out in soft purple and white robes. Well, today is Christ the KinG Sunday AND ThanKsGivinG Sunday, and my job is to bring these two themes together. How are we going to do that? Let’s start with Christ the King Sunday – the very last Sunday in the Christian Year before the start of Advent, which is next weeK! Jesus’s mission as Christ the KinG was to establish the KinGdom of God…here…on earth…a mission he continues to fulfill throuGh us, his disciples. His Kingdom was radically different from the Kingdom of Imperial Rome and their Jewish puppets – the Herodian kinGs in Palestine where Jesus lived. In fact, Jesus and his Kingdom inauGurated a radical reversal of the values and leadership style of ImPerial Rome. This is perhaPs most clearly seen, and succinctly stated, in Luke 1 – in Mary’s sonG of Praise to God Known as the Magnificat. In her sonG, Mary praises the God who looKs with favor on the lowliness of his servant, Mary. She extols the God who shows the strenGth of his arm by scattering the proud, in their imaGinations; bringing down the powerful from their thrones while liftinG uP the lowly; fillinG the hunGry with Good thinGs and sending the rich away emPty; and showing great kindness to the Poor, the powerless and marGinalized.

The Historian as Novelist John Salmon Delivered March 1, 2001 To start with, let me say that the title of the novel that is the subject of this talk is misleading. It reads: "The Muskets of Gascony: The Revolt of Bernard d'Audijos by Armand Daudeyos, translated by J. H. M. Salmon." This is false. When you write a historical novel things do seem to become falsified at times. I am the actual author, and Armand Daudeyos, the supposed descendant of the hero (Daudeyos is the Gascon form of d'Audijos) is a faction. I adopted this device for several reasons. First, it adds an air of mystery to pretend that one has discovered the manuscript of a historical novel based on real events in the seventeenth century and written in the Romantic vogue of the nineteenth century. Second, it allows me to insert a "translator's preface" explaining how close the book is to what actually happened. And third, it protects me from the reproaches of my colleagues for betraying my profession.
