Theater Casting Call for "Bloody Good" Play

Cambridge, ON, Canada
ID: 287261Exp: 7/4/2025
Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Searching for performers for production of "Bloody Good". More details are below. About the play: Every year, under the shroud of a blood moon, the world’s most infamous women — the so-called murderesses of history — gather in a secret. United by a fate they never chose and a reputation the world wrote for them, they step forward one by one to tell their side of the story. From the chilling grace of Countess Elizabeth Báthory to the smirking defiance of Lizzie Borden, from the tragic desperation of Abigail Williams to the fiery vengeance of pirate queens Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, each woman offers a haunting, soul-baring confession — some pleading innocence, others unrepentant, all demanding to be seen as more than headlines and legends. Part ghost story, part rock concert, part confessional, Bloody Good is a defiant, thrilling reclamation of history’s darkest daughters — and a chilling reminder that every legend has more than one side. Additional information: REHEARSAL DATES: Wednesday and Sunday evenings from 6:00-10:00 PM in Cambridge, ON. An extra rehearsal day may be added if deemed necessary.
