BREAKDOWN
Casting Mary's Wedding”
Synopsis: When Mary and Charlie unexpectedly find one another sheltering in a barn during a thunderstorm, a tentative love is born. But the year is 1914, and Mary and Charlie must surrender their fates to the uncertainties of their tumultuous times during the First World War. In this award-winning Canadian play, their love story unfolds against the most devastating conflagration of war that the world had yet seen, as the playwright weaves time, dreams, and memory together to remind us that the heart is beautifully resilient. Mary’s Wedding is a dream play that takes place in Mary’s mind. Specifically looking for actors who move well, are versatile, and are interested in exploring the world of this play through imagination and collaboration.
CHARLIE
Charlie ages from 18 to 22 years old over the course of the play. He is energetic, hard-working, brave and vulnerable. He works on his father’s farm and takes great pride in caring for his horse.
Actors of all ethnic and racial backgrounds, as well as LGTBQ identified actors are strongly encouraged to apply.
