Looking to cast performers for "The Haunting of Hill House" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is a chilling tale that follows four people as they stay in a supposedly haunted mansion. Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted, but all having their particular reasons for accepting Dr. Montague’s invitation to share his Hill House sojourn. Additional info: Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. The Haunting of Hill House will be presented October 31, November 1, 6, 7 and 8 at 8pm and November 2 at 2pm at the Mason Community Playhouse. If interested, please apply.
