"Do No Harm" New Musical Seeking Cast
Casting actors for "Do No Harm" new musical project. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: "Growing up in small-town, working class 19th century Ireland, Margaret Bulkley is told what to do, what to think, and how to behave. But this spirited lass refuses to follow the well-worn path of servile, domesticated women before her. Fueled by a joyless childhood and an unflappable ambition, she is determined to become a doctor even if it means living her life in disguise — as a man. Over the course of our story, Margaret reinvents herself as Dr. James Barry, sacrificing her womanhood for a greater cause. In the process she becomes the first female surgeon to perform a successful C-section, in which both mother and child survive. Tragically, her accomplishments go undiscovered until her death when the world finally learns that the real genius and medical pioneer was a lady." Additional info: Rehearsals will take place July 21-August 1 with performances on August 2 & 3. If you are interested, please apply.
