Seeking Performers for "The Watsons" Play
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Theater is holding auditions for their upcoming production "The Watsons". Looking for performers. More details are below. About the play: Emma Watson is 19 and new in town. She's been cut off by her rich aunt and dumped back inthe family home. Emma and her sisters must marry, fast. If not, they face poverty, spinsterhood, or worse: an eternity with their boorish brother and his awful wife. Luckily there are plenty of potential suitors to dance with, from flirtatious Tom Musgrave to castle-owning Lord Osborne, who's as awkward as he is rich. So far so familiar. But there's a problem: Jane Austen didn't finish the story. Who will write Emma's happy ending now? Based on her incomplete novel, this sparklingly witty play looks under the bonnet of Jane Austen and asks: What can characters do when their author abandons them? Rate: This is a non-union, volunteer production. Additional information: PERFORMANCE DATES: May 1-18, 2025, (Thurs-Sun). CALLBACKS: 4th December, 2024. AUDITION VENUE: Vancouver. APPLICATION DEADLINE (though the sooner the better) 28th November. Please, see attached the sides. When applying, please submit a head shot and resume. Please say which character you wish to audition for.
