Are you ready to show the theater community exactly what a lifetime of comedic timing looks like?
Too often, senior actors are cast in the background as the quiet grandparent or the fleeting neighbor. Not here. We are thrilled to announce open auditions for Grumpy Old Men: The Musical—a rare, laugh-out-loud production where the seniors completely run the show.
DFT is seeking dynamic, expressive, and fearless adult performers who aren't afraid to step into the spotlight and breathe new life into these iconic, beautifully flawed, and fiercely funny characters.
Whether you have decades of stage experience or a natural knack for comedy and a desire to try something new, this is your invitation to take center stage.
Come celebrate a heartwarming story that proves the best comedy, the sharpest wit, and the greatest rivalries only get better with age.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
GRUMPY OLD MEN is a hilarious and heartwarming story about two aging neighbors, Max and John, who have spent most of their lives locked in a feud. When a beautiful, eccentric, and charming woman named Ariel moves in across the street, both men find themselves vying for her attention, turning their rivalry into a full-blown comedic battle of wills. As their antics escalate, the two grumpy old men are forced to confront their differences, leading to a touching resolution that proves even the most stubborn hearts can change.
Based on the beloved 1993 film starring Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, and Ann-Margret, this stage adaptation captures the lovably crotchety characters through twinkling humor, catchy songs, and the affectionate depiction of a small town that feels like home to everyone. GRUMPY OLD MEN is a delightful and affectionate celebration of love, friendship, and second chances.
