AUDITIONS FOR NO STRINGS THEATRE COMPANY'S SEAGULLS IN A CHERRY TREE APRIL 3 AND APRIL 4.
No Strings Theatre Company announces Auditions for Seagulls in a Cherry Tree by William Missouri Downs, directed by NSTC's Artistic Director, Ceil Herman. A zany new comedy described by Downs, author of the two previous NSTC hits, (Cockeyed and :Mad Gravity) as the first new Chekhov play in a hundred years! The comedy follows the adventures of Boris and Stan, two Hollywood screenwriters who have been hired by Disney to adapt Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard into a new movie for Mel Gibson. You will certainly recognize many iconic Chekhovian characters as they pursue love, longing, life and loss at the Dantchenko Colony for Artists and Creative Inquiry, Moscow, Idaho!
