Casting Performers for "Bright Star" Play
Auditions are open to actors for "Bright Star". Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony®-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s BRIGHT STAR tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s. When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past—and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives. With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, BRIGHT STAR is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful. Additional info: Please choose a bluegrass or folksong. Bring live/recorded music (not sheet music) with you and something to play it on. If interested, please apply.
