"A Little Night Music" Show Needs Performers
The company is holding auditions for "A Little Night Music" show and looking for performers, please see the detail below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: A Little Night Music explores a web of amorous entanglements centered around actress Desiree Armfeldt, her current married lover, Count Carl-Magnus Malcom, and her former lover, Fredrik Egerman. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik’s town, the estranged lovers’ passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion among Desiree, the Count, Fredrik, Fredrick’s wife, Anne, and the Count’s wife, Charlotte. Both men, along with their jealous wives, agree to join Desiree and her family for a weekend at Desiree’s mother’s country estate. With everyone in one place, possibilities of new romance and second chances abound.
