PPT Announces Auditions For The Farnsworth Invention 4/19-20

Piedmont Players Theatre (PPT) announces auditions for the next Mainstage Production, The Farnsworth Invention

Auditions are next week for PPT's next Mainstage Meroney Production, The Farnsworth Invention. Written by Oscar-Award Winner, Aaron Sorkin, it is a tale of hard work, passion, and competition. Do you know where television came from?

It's 1929. Two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called "television." Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul, or the self-taught Idaho farm boy?

The answer comes to compelling life in The Farnsworth Invention, the new play from Oscar Winning Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing. Sorkin won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar in 2011 for his work on the movie The Social Network. Other plays and features written by Sorkin include A Few Good Men, The American President, and Charlie Wilson's War.

Auditions: 7pm - Tuesday & Wed, April 19 & 20.
Performances: June 2-5 & 8-11

Auditions are open to everyone and will consist of cold readings from the script. They will be held on the 3rd floor of the Meroney Theater, in the rehearsal hall.
