August 27, 2023 - August 28, 2023
The director, Jeff Adair, will be holding auditions Sunday August 27 from 2pm to 5pm and Monday August 28 from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. Auditions will be a cold read with short scenes provided for actors to read that day.
Play Synopsis:
Carrie Watts dreams of escape from the bustling city and of a return to simpler times in her beloved Bountiful, Texas. She sets out on a risky journey to her beloved hometown, with her family in hot pursuit. Along the way, she encounters kindness and compassion to find what makes a remarkable discovery about the true meaning of home. This classic American drama is a touching portrait of family, what we hold onto and what we leave behind. Although this is not a musical, some of the supporting actors will be asked to sing during the scene changes so be prepared to learn and sing a gospel hymn chorus at auditions. If you do not sing, please still audition and indicate that you do not sing. Not all supporting actors will be asked to sing in the production.
*NOTE: The Role of Carrie Watts, Lead Female 55-80 has already been filled.
