THE DOOR BY HELEN YOUNG – AUDITION NOTICE

This is a play about bullying and being bullied, about self discovery and friendship, and about putting yourself on the line for others and standing up for what you believe in.

Mr. C – [30’s/40’s] He has spent his life teaching high school and watching bullies get away with humiliating and terrorizing anyone weaker than they are.

Nicole – [16/17] Nicole is a very good student but shy and withdrawn. She tried to kill herself and is in the class to face her fears. Amy- Amy is popular, pretty and addicted to drugs and alcohol. She has succeeded in joining the “in” crowd but is not happy with how she is seen.

Claudia – [16/17] Claudia is in the same group as Amy and the two were friends. Claudia attacked another girl and is on a downward spiral as a result of her actions.
