The company is holding auditions for The "Great Gatsby: A Live Radio Play" and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: “F. Scott Fitzgerald's beloved classic comes to life as a 1940s radio broadcast in this spirited adaptation of The Great Gatsby. An ensemble brings more than two dozen characters to the WBFR radio station for a live broadcast, punctuated by 40s-era commercials.
