Theater Casting Call for "7 stories" Play
Seeking performers for production of "7 Stories". Please, see the details below. About the play: A man on the seventh-story of an apartment building finds himself in contemplation …. on a ledge! Yet, he is constantly being interrupted by the self-absorbed, bizarre, and utterly hilarious residents of the building. With each window that opens, a new "story" unfolds, full of absurdities and personal dramas. The man's existential crisis becomes a backdrop for the chaotic and darkly comedic lives of others, who are too caught up in their own problems to notice his predicament. This witty and poignant play is a philosophical fable that explores what it means to feel lost, to seek connection, and to find meaning in a chaotic world. Additional information: Callbacks: Yet to be determined. LOCATION: Belleville, ON. PRODUCTION RUN: January 29-February 15 2026. Productions run Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m.
