ENCHANTED APRIL - Gallery Theater

Auditions for Enchanted April have been set for January 17& 18 7:00pm

By Matthew Barber
From the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim
Directed by Steve Cox

Set in the 1920s, Enchanted April centers around four English women who rent a castle on a remote Italian island to try to come to grips with their lives and relationships. During their enchanted month in Tuscany, the ladies fall under the spell of their idyllic, sun-drenched surroundings. They rediscover laughter, learn new truths about themselves and find the romance they so long for, discovering unexpected passions and renewing their appreciation of life.

Performance Dates: April 15- May 7, 2016

Auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. Please be prepared to attempt your best English Accent (where appropriate), inability to do an accent will NOT disqualify anyone from casting as dialect tapes will be available to those cast.
