Seeking Performers for "Summerland" Play
Directors are currently in need of performers for production of "Summerland". Please, see the details below. About the play: "Summerland" reveals the haunting true story of William H. Mumler, a well-known spirit photographer of 19th-century New York. At the height of the American Spiritualist movement, Mumler’s remarkable portraits seemed to capture not only his clients but their departed loved ones as well (including Mary Lincoln whose late husband President Abraham Lincoln appeared in a photograph of her). As his studio flourishes, a skeptical investigator arrives to expose Mumler as a fraud. When the inspector’s own photographic sitting takes an unexpected turn, truth and illusion begin to blur in the most mysterious ways. Additional information: Location: Halifax. No preparation required. You will be given segments of scripts to read at the audition. All rehearsals and performances will be held in Halifax. Rehearsals will generally be on Monday and Wednesday evenings, 7 to 9pm and Sunday afternoons, 1 to 4pm beginning on January 18th. The production runs from March 26 to April 11th, 2026.
