Open auditions for mainstage production of "Whose Life is it Anyway?". In need of cast. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below.

About the project: 
A brilliant battle of wits takes place in this extraordinary play.
Claire Harrison, a successful sculptor, is paralyzed in a car accident and kept alive by support systems in a hospital. Outwardly, she’s cheerful and often very funny, but she’s overwhelmed by the fact that she has lost control of her own life.
As the play begins, she is coming to the decision that if she can’t live as a woman, she doesn’t want to exist as a medical achievement. Her physician, however, is utterly determined to preserve Claire’s life, regardless of its quality.
Finally despite the pleas of the doctors and her involved nurse, Claire invokes the law of habeas corpus and a judge joins the battle to determine “Whose Life Is It Anyway?“

Open auditions for Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express". Looking for actors. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Please see the breakdown below.

About the project: 
Ken Ludwig's clever adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic boasts all the glamour, intrigue and suspense of Dame Agatha's celebrated novel, with a healthy dose of humor to quicken the pace.
The year is 1934. Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer.
An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside.
Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case he or she decides to strike again.
