"Grand Horizons" Play Casting Actors
Auditions for the first Indiana production of "Grand Horizons". Seeking actors. Please see more info below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: Bill and Nancy have spent fifty full years as husband and wife. They practically breathe in unison, and can anticipate each other's every sigh, snore, and sneeze. But just as they settle comfortably into their new home in Grand Horizons, the unthinkable happens: Nancy suddenly wants out. As their two adult sons struggle to cope with the shocking news, they are forced to question everything they assumed about the people they thought they knew best. Funny, shocking, and painfully honest, Bess Wohl's new play explores a family turned upside-down and takes an intimate look at the wild, unpredictable, and enduring nature of love. Additional info: You do not need to attend both audition dates but you are welcome to attend both. Auditions will consist of reading from the script and interacting with other actors. Please note the rehearsal schedule for this show. Actors with any conflicts during tech week will not be considered. Please bring known conflicts to auditions. The show runs March 15-24, 2024. If you are interested, please apply.
