Performers Needed for "Strange Snow" Show
The company is holding auditions for "Strange Snow" and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: Megs and David are Vietnam vets who don’t see much of each other anymore, although they live in the same town. But, on opening day of trout season, Megs shows up to take Davey fishing in honor of their pal Bobby, who died alongside them in war, and to get some closure on the tragic experience they shared. David lives with his sister Martha, a plain, lonely high school teacher who acts as his caregiver. He masks his pain with alcohol and refuses to talk about his war experiences. The gregarious, charming Megs tries to hide his own explosively angry tendencies and can’t stop talking about Vietnam. Their friendship is tested when a romantic relationship develops between Megs and Martha. In a sense all three characters are “wounded warriors,” struggling to get past their pain, loss and guilt and get on with life. Rate: No Pay – Volunteer Organization Addition info: RUN DATES: March 27–April 19, 2026 Please bring an acting resume, headshot & calendar for paperwork/schedule comparison; no performance conflicts permitted Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script.
3 roles
Line Load: Heavy, Lead Characteristics: Megs is an out-going, volatile Vietnam veteran whose charismatic energy is a desperate cover for his explosively angry tendencies. His determination to help his war buddy David is an attempt at self-redemption as much as an act of friendship.
Line Load: Heavy, Lead Characteristics: Martha is a plain, desperately lonely high school science teacher who is a bit straightlaced. She still lives in the home she grew up in because she devotes herself to her brother Davey, who suffers from PTSD, by serving as his maid and caregiver.
Line Load: Medium-Heavy, Major Supporting Characteristics: David is a former high school athletic hero whose life was irrevocably changed by his service in Vietnam. He still blames himself for the death of his pal Bobby. He is silent, brooding, surly and withdrawn from life as he masks his pain with alcohol.
