Announcing Auditions for

Directed by Joel Perkin

Saturday, Sept 7th - 3:00pm
Monday, Sept 9th - 7:00pm
at Sunnydale

Auditions will consist of reading from sides of the show. A 60- to 90-second monologue is welcome but not required.

Note: The script invites diverse casting; Jane Austen's characters are for everyone. Ages are approximate, more how the characters will be read by the audience rather than actual ages of the actors.

 

Rehearsals begin 9/14/2024 and rehearsals will generally be five days a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays off).
