Actors must be able to be present for all performances, as we do not cast understudies. Rehearsals are typically Mon/Tues/Thurs, this may shift slightly, based on those involved.
The Characters:
- FERN – A woman in her thirties, who has been an agoraphobic for six years.
- MAPLE – Fern’s baby sister, who has been in a catatonic state for two days.
- CARLA – Fern’s up-the-street neighbour, in her late thirties.
- ARNOLD – Fern’s across-the-street neighbour, in his late thirties/early forties.
This is a really fun little story, with some very high energy moments, and some touching ones as well. Due to the tight time frame for prep, there will be cold reads, and a short interview with the director, to get an idea of the auditionees views and experiences with loss and grief. Monologues are welcome, but not mandatory.
Please email dance-up-a-storm@hotmail.com to request an audition time slot. Theatre experience is an asset, but as a community theatre, we welcome everyone! Lots to learn and new friendships to build, as we launch into our seventh season in St. Albert!
