"Seasonal Allergies" Stage Play in Need of Actors
"Seasonal Allergies" play looking for cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the breakdown below. About the project: Synopsis: Seasonal Allergies centers on the arrival of a heartbroken Pete Dumbowski at his sister Julia’s doorstep just before the holidays, clutching a stack of pies and mourning his pending divorce. Julia offers up her living room couch until he can get on his feet again. His stay quickly turns into an extended one, causing tensions to rise, Christmas trees to crash through windows, and their friend group to play matchmaker for him and the new girl next door, Emily. This play beautifully blends real-life humor with a touching message about the enduring power of family love. It’s a delightful, family-friendly show that’s perfect for getting everyone in the holiday spirit and ready to eat some turkey (or maybe some of those infamous pearl onions).
