Theatre Casting Call for "Enchanted April" Play
The company is holding auditions for "Enchanted April", play and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: This marvelous play centers on two unhappy London housewives who, feeling lost in their marriages, decide to rent a villa in Italy for a women-only holiday, recruiting two more women to share the cost; as they spend time together under the Italian sun, the four women initially clash but eventually bond and rediscover themselves, with their newfound sense of self sometimes threatened by the return of their husbands. Additional info: Show dates are March. Auditions will be conducted by a cold reading of a selection of sides. Read-through will be Friday, December 20 at 7:00 p.m. Rehearsals are expected to be held three nights a week beginning the week of January 6. The schedule will be finalized after all cast conflicts are received. Please note that London accents are required unless otherwise noted. An attempt will be made to maintain realistic age ranges when casting relationships (i.e. husband and wife will appear to be within a few years of each other). Please apply if interested.

Youthful and hip but somewhat withdrawn socialite who seems to always be keeping a secret. Hesitant to connect with the other women at first. Speaks fluent Italian.
