Auditions for A Doll's House, Part 2Elmwood Playhouse in Nyack, NY will be holding auditions for its upcoming production of
A Doll's House Part 2, written by Lucas Hnath and directed by
Michael Edan. A Doll's House Part 2 is a bitingly funny and fascinating sequel to Ibsen’s revolutionary masterpiece, A Doll’s House. AUDITIONS: Tuesday May 3rd at 7:00pm and Wednesday May 4th at 7:00pm CALLBACKS: Saturday May 7th at 12:00pm (by invitation only) PERFORMANCES: Friday, July 15 thru Saturday, Aug 6 (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with possible Wednesdays and Thursdays) SHOW DESCRIPTION:
In 1879, Nora Helmer walked out the door, leaving her family and societal constraints behind her. Now 15 years later there is a knock on the same door. Why has she returned? Sparks fly as the past and present collide in this taut theatrical showdown. Behind every ending is a new beginning. CAST REQUIREMENTS: (3 Females, 1 male, 4 ensemble members) Nora – F, 43 – 46 (left her husband Torvald and children 15 years earlier) she is impetuous, persuasive, independent, strong willed, spontaneous, possesses sardonic humor, and is savvy smart. A ‘free spirit’ focused more on her own needs. She is on stage during the entire play. Torvald – M, 48 – 56, (Nora's husband, a banker) awkwardly rigid, control is safety, reputation is important, feelings are not to be indulged in, yet he possesses strong feelings beneath a veneer of stoic constraint that some might call constipation. Anne Marie – 60's – 70's, (housekeeper to Torvald, who raised Nora's children when she left her marriage) hard working, strong willed, no one's fool, a ‘dry’ sense of humor, not easily intimidated by Nora, and possesses a heart of gold. Emmy – 18 – 21, (Nora's daughter, was 3-5 years old when her mother left) poised, intelligent, quiet determination, and underneath her graceful polite presence deep waters of emotion churn.
