Actors Inc Announces Auditions for THE PORCH, 2/20

Actors Inc announces auditions for Jack Neary's THE PORCH, Sunday, February 20th, at 6:00pm at St. Williams School (second floor), 1351 Main Street, Tewksbury, MA 01876.

THE PORCH takes the audience on a journey through the Labor Day Weekend (2004) of Alma and her friends Gert and Marjorie. Also along for the ride are Gert's husband Leo, and Marjorie's husband Pat. Much is discussed, little things... happen... and it all leads to a revelation from Alma that stuns her friends, and solidifies their friendship. There are many laughs, and audiences seem to relate closely to the characters, seeing either themselves or some of their relatives and friends re-created onstage.

Those wishing to audition must bring a completed audition form and provide a headshot and resume. The audition consists of a reading from the script as well as scenes provided upon request.

The performances will be June 3-5, at the UMass Lowell Conference Center.

The characters are between the ages of 50-60, and are listed as follows:

Gert: brash, blunt; opinionated
Alma: naive, curious, a little hard of hearing
Marjorie: stable, educated, a calming influence
Leo: Gert's husband; bantam-like, edgy
Pat: Marjorie's husband, grounded, lethargic

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Corinne Drake Hickey at 978-835-9250 or cchickey@mwe.com. The audition form can be completed here.
