Auditions for The Belfry Theatre’s “Our Town” will be at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 29, and 7 p.m. Monday, July 30, at The Belfry Theatre, 10690 Greenfield Ave., Noblesville.
The play will open The Belfry Theatre’s 54th season in celebration of the 80th year of the American classic Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Our Town,” by Thornton Wilder.
Those auditioning should prepare a short (one-minute) monologue. There will be readings from the script. Auditionees may be asked to pantomime a simple action.
Director Nancy Lafferty is seeking a diverse cast.
“Our Town” tells the story of a fictional small town in America during the early 1900s, through the everyday lives of its citizens. On a bare stage, with the use of heavy pantomime, the story of life, love and death unfolds before us with delicacy and tenderness. With humor, wit and exceptionally powerful storytelling, “Our Town” offers universal truths about what it means to be human – in any town, at any time.
Production dates are 8 p.m. on Sept. 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29, and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. on Sept. 23 and 30.
The play, in three acts, is being directed by Nancy Lafferty.
