Casting Call for "Dark Matters" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Dark Matters" Show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: In an isolated house at the edge of a cornfield, in the mountains of Virginia, something almost beyond belief is happening to the Cleary family. When Bridget Cleary goes missing in the dead of night, her husband Michael and son Jeremy scramble to help Sheriff Richard Egan find her. Then, as suddenly as she vanished, Bridget reappears, talking about strange visitations and otherworldly beings. Is she lying, or are supernatural forces at work? DARK MATTERS is a suspenseful thriller about the secrets that hold families together, and the terrible truths we sometimes choose to ignore in the people we love. Rate: Non-union, non-paid. Additional info: Bring a printed copy of the audition sheet and conflict calendar with you to the audition. Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Sides will be provided.
