Theatre Casting Call for "Sense and Sensibility" Show

Grass Valley, CA, United States
ID: 274679Exp: 12/10/2024
Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Sense and Sensibility" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A playful adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. SENSE & SENSIBILITY examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart? Rate: Unpaid. Additional info: Rehearsal Schedule: Rehearsals generally occur on Sundays (2 - 5 PM or 5 - 8 PM) and Mondays through Thursdays (6 - 9PM), starting around January 5, 2025. We also may do a table read in December. Performances: The show is currently scheduled to run for four weekends from March 6 through March 29. Please see the attachment for more details. Please apply if interested.
