Town Players of Newton Announces BURIED CHILD Casting Call, 9/12 & 13

Town Players of Newtown is seeking a cast of 5 men - ages 22 to 70 and 2 women - ages 19 to 25 and 55 to 65 - for its upcoming production, Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, BURIED CHILD.

In BURIED CHILD, 22-year-old Vince arrives at the squalid farmhouse of his hard-drinking grandparents for the first time in six years to introduce his girlfriend Shelly to his family - but no one at home seems to even know who Vince is, including Vince's father Tilden (a former All-American footballer but now a semi-idiot) or his uncle Bradley, who has lost one his legs to a chainsaw accident. It is only the memory of an unwanted child, buried in an undisclosed location, that can possibly hope to deliver this family from the madness that threatens to engulf them all.

Auditions will be held at The Little Theatre of Newtown, 18 Orchard Hill Road., Newtown, on Monday, September 12 and Tuesday, September 13 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The production is under the direction of Pam Meister of Newtown. All roles are available and both professionals and amateurs are welcome. No appointments are necessary. Auditions will consist of readings from the script.
