The "Laughing Stock" Show Needs Performers
Seeking talent for the "Laughing Stock" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: LAUGHING STOCK is a hilarious backstage farce and a genuinely affectionate look into the world of the theatre. When The Playhouse, a rustic New England summer theatre, schedules a repertory season of Dracula, Hamlet, and Charley’s Aunt, comic mayhem ensues. We follow the well-intentioned but over-matched company from outrageous auditions to ego-driven rehearsals through opening nights gone disastrously awry to the elation of a great play well told and the comic and nostalgic season close. Additional info: -Those wishing to audition should come prepared to read from the script. -Auditions will be conducted as a group. -The show will perform at the Watertown Players Theater on August 4,5,6 and 11,12,13, 2023. If you are interested, please apply.
