Seeking Cast for "Our Town" Stage Play
The company is holding auditions for "Our Town" Play and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written,” Our Town presents the small town of Grover’s Corners in three acts: “Daily Life,” “Love and Marriage” and “Death and Eternity.” Narrated by a stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, the play depicts the simple daily lives of the Webb and Gibbs families as their children fall in love, marry, and eventually – in one of the most famous scenes in American theatre – die. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings selected from the script. Prepared monologues are encouraged but not required.
