Seeking Performers for "Hallfway There" Play

Toronto, ON, Canada
ID: 277283Exp: 2/7/2025
Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Directors are currently in need of performers for "Hallfway There" play. See the details below. About the play: Junior’s diner is like the CNN newsdesk in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. Through the fourth wall we watch and listen to three anchors, Vi, Mary Ellen and Rita, relate the news and gossip of all the goings on in town. The women set the mood, the stage, and the storylines of characters both on and offstage. The play is very much about the comfort of good solid relationships and the patterns that bond the characters, weaving memory, experience and sometimes longing through their lives. It is also about change; a new man in town, the unknown factor, the mercurial energy that creates both excitement and conflict among the locals. Mostly comedy but pathos also. Rate: Non-union, non-paying. Additional information: The first read-through will be held Tuesday February 18, 2025, with regular rehearsals starting Sunday February 23 and thereafter on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-10pm, and Sundays 1-5pm. (Times are flexible depending on actor availability). Actors MUST be available for all of Tech Saturday, April 19, 2025, for the Tech Week evenings of Monday through Thursday, April 21-24, 2025 and for all performances: April 25 – Saturday (matinée) April 26 Wednesday, April 30 – Sunday (matinée), May 4.
