Be You Productions is excited to announce our 2023 production of Lucky Stiff to be staged in August at the MC Showroom.

​

We are now seeking TEN cast members for a paid opportunity through ethical profit share. 

A down-on-his-luck English shoe salesman unexpectedly inherits $6 million worth of diamonds from an American uncle. However, getting the money won’t be easy. He’ll have to deal with his uncle’s unusual will terms and all the other people after his money.

​

Our Vision

While this show is very melodramatic and leans into a lot of tropes, we don't want it to feel fake or cheesy. We want our actors to lean in to the truth of their characters, the heightened nature of the story, as after all the truth is funny. Honest discovery, observation, and reaction is better than contrived invention. 

Real humour does not come from sacrificing the reality of a moment in order to crack a cheap joke, but in finding the joke in the reality of the moment.

Casting

Continuing with our traditions of open casting, each actor will be chosen for their personal abilities rather than them being the 'perfect fit' for the role. Every role is open to every performer. We are limited by the rights by the gender expressions of each character, though this will not limit our imagination as to who is able to play each role. If you are passionate about a character but unsure if you fit as an actor, we encourage you to give it a shot!
