Casting Call for "A Moon for the Misbegotten" Stage Play

Jacksonville Beach, FL, United States
ID: 289952Exp: 8/2/2025
Description:

Audition notice for play "A Moon for the Misbegotten". ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See more info below. About the project: From the pen of one of America’s greatest dramatists comes a searing, lyrical tale of longing, redemption, and the fleeting power of love. Theatre proudly presents Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten — a haunting and deeply human story set on a hardscrabble Connecticut farm in the aftermath of Long Day’s Journey Into Night. This powerful work follows the fierce, witty Josie Hogan and the tormented James Tyrone Jr. as they navigate a single moonlit night that holds the possibility of truth, tenderness, and emotional reckoning. As secrets unravel and defenses crumble, O’Neill crafts a raw, poetic portrait of damaged souls reaching for connection in a world that has offered them little mercy. Written by Eugene O’Neill, the only American playwright awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and winner of four Pulitzer Prizes, A Moon for the Misbegotten is a cornerstone of 20th-century American theatre — intimate, elegiac, and emotionally unforgettable. Additional info: Be prepared to read sides from the script (provided at the audition). Irish-American and New England dialects are welcome but not required. Please bring a headshot and résumé, if available. Rehearsals begin in early August and will accommodate cast availability. Performances will be held in September 18 - 28 2025. If you are interested, please apply.
