Central Alberta Theatre is seeking two male actors for our upcoming dinner theatre play, WILLOW QUARTET, by Joan Burrows.

Synopsis – In the aftermath of a tragedy, Kim moves back in to her childhood home, the quiet farm where she grew up. Here she invites Jim, a visiting musician, to stay in a spare room on the farm – much to the chagrin of Marjorie, her sharp-witted mother, and Ben, her ex-husband. It’s not long before Kim is infatuated with Jim’s sophistication and charm, as he offers her the chance to love and laugh again in a story of choices, consequences and forgiveness.

Characters:

BEN WALTERS (40s) – a loving father and husband, Ben Walters earns a living as a mechanic. Intelligent and compassionate, he harbours an inner conflict of fear and anger. Enjoys classic rock, but can also handle a kazoo.

JIM FLEMING (40s) – a professional violinist, Jim Fleming projects an aura of confidence and mystery with his outgoing personality and passion for music. A divorced father of two, he has brooding quality at certain moments.

WILLOW QUARTET opens on January 17, 2020 at the Black Knight Inn Dinner Theatre in Red Deer, Alberta. Performances are scheduled for January 18, 19, 24, 26, 30, 31 and February 1.

Weekly rehearsals will begin in November 2019.
