Fells Point Corner Theatre Holds MAURITIUS Auditions, 8/23 & 8/24

Fells Point Corner Theatre will be holding auditions for MAURITIUS by Theresa Rebeck on Monday, August 23, and Tuesday, August 24 at 7:30 PM (both days) at the theater, 251 South Ann Street, Baltimore, MD. All roles are non-equity, and all roles are open. Headshots and resumes are appreciated, but not required. Rehearsing a monologue will not be necessary; prepare to read from the script.

SYNOPSIS

Jackie and Mary are half-sisters who inherit a book of rare stamps that may contain the "crown jewel" of the stamp-collecting world. As the sisters quarrel over ownership and try to determine authenticity, they attract the attention of three characters who take a keen interest in the collection and whose desire for the stamps grows increasingly sinister. Which of the three men can be trusted with the sale, which could be worth megabucks? Mauritius is a gripping blend of sharp comedy and heart-pounding drama that simmers with constant surprise.
