Don't Drink the Water is an early Woody Allen comedy that blends his trademark comedy with slapstick situations. The play is set in a communist country in the early 1960's, during the cold war. A New Jersey caterer and his family must take refuge in the American embassy when they are suspected of being spies. Will they ever be able to escape? Or are they really spies? And will the family start an international incident before the embassy chef decides to kill them!
Performances will begin April 16 and run three weekends through May 2, at the church.
There are roles for four women and twelve men.
Cold readings from the script will be used at auditions.
Appointments for auditions are not required.
Several roles will be engaging in physical comedy.
Rehearsals for the show begin early in March. There is no pay. Volunteers are also needed to assist the production team in several areas.
