Casting the following roles:

Amanda Wingfield: Late 40s to mid-50s. A woman abandoned by her husband some 16 years ago, is trying to raise her children under harsh financial conditions. Her devotion to her children has made her, as she admits at one point, a "witch," and she longs for the kind of Old South gentility and comforts which she remembers from her youth for her children. Once a Southern belle, she still clings to whatever powers vivacity and charm can muster.

Laura Wingfield: Early 20s. Amanda's daughter. She is slightly physically challenged and is ultra-sensitive and shy.

Tom Wingfield: Late 20s. Amanda's son. He works in a warehouse but aspires to be a writer. He feels both obligated toward yet burdened by his family. Has a great desire to escape.

Jim O'Connor: Late 20s. A workmate of Tom's (a shipping clerk) and acquaintance of Laura's from high school, is also the physical representation of all Laura's desires and all Amanda's desires for her daughter. He is invited over to the Wingfields' house for dinner with the intent of being Laura's first gentleman caller. He seems like a dream come true for the Wingfields.

All actors and actresses are welcome regardless of type or ethnicity. We are keeping open the possibility of casting this production with a non-traditional cast and strongly encourage everyone to attend the auditions. There is the possibility of an older Tom and a younger Tom, so we are also looking for an actor to play late 30s to early 40s.

Director: Tim Ross
