AUDITIONS: Community casting for Miller masterpiece!
Touring Consortium Theatre Company hold regional auditions for community casting in next production of Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
In spring 2015, the Touring Consortium Theatre Company will produce Arthur Miller's modern classic, A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. 2015 is the centenary of Arthur Miller’s birth and they are delighted to be celebrating it with this production of one of his most popular plays.
Set in 1950s New York and crackling with raw emotion, this American classic simmers with tension as longshoreman Eddie Carbone's obsession with his orphaned niece spirals out of control. In a close Italian immigrant community bound by codes of justice and vengeance, the scene is set for disaster when Eddie and his wife welcome Sicilian cousins into their home.
Sexual repression, paranoia and homophobia drive Eddie to an act of betrayal that has tragic consequences for himself, his family and the whole community. This dark and passionate tale ranks as one of the great classics of our time.

The Touring Consortium Theatre Company will be holding auditions at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre to cast between 10-12 people who will make up the ensemble casting for this production. Local members of the community will perform alongside the professional cast for the entire week that it plays in Wolverhampton from Tue 24 – Sat 28 March.
It’s a wonderful opportunity for local actors to be part of a national touring production.

Anyone with even a little acting experience is welcome to audition. Just bring your enthusiasm and commitment.
