Welcome to Columbus’ Newest Theatre Venture
Welcome to our provisional blog - soon to be replaced by our official website…
is Columbus, Ohio’s newest theatre venture.
DEBUT PRODUCTION
Raconteur will debut with its first annual “FLEX SERIES” this spring. The FLEX SERIES is an evening of two one-act plays allowing patrons to choose to attend just one of the two or - for a discounted ticket price - to attend both. Here’s the line-up:
Roulette by Douglas Hill
Aster Holger Gunn by Justin Toomey

Open auditions will be held at Kafe Kerouac on Sunday, April 6 at 4pm and Monday, April 7 at 7pm. We will be looking for:
-
2 males, twenties
-
2 females, twenties
-
1 male, middle aged, tall
Bring a headshot and resume if available; auditions will consist of readings from the scripts. You may peruse the scripts online here.
Aster Holger Gunn by Justin Toomey
Unable to let go of his love for Aster, Holger writes a dialogue between the two of them in the hopes of working through his attachment to an obviously dead relationship. Despite having complete control over every move Aster makes and every word she says, Holger cannot change the ultimate destiny of their relationship. In his struggle we see our own efforts to construct our reality and make sense of the pain we encounter in life. What will release Holger - and us - from this cycle of living in the past?
Roulette by Douglas Hill
After four years of a painful marriage, Janine and Matt decide divorce is the only way out. But when the couple embarks on a final road trip to drop off Matt in Las Vegas, they start to question their decision. Strange, inexplicable things start happening: money appears and disappears in Matt’s wallet; Janine throws their photo album out the car window but it keeps returning to them. In this raw portrait of love on the brink of annihilation, Janine and Matt must decide whether their marriage is anything more than a high-stakes gamble.
