Dayton Theatre Guild Holds Open Auditions For INDEPENDENCE

Open Auditions for Independence held March 1 & 2 at 7 PM. Independence explores family relationships - three daughters (Jo, Sherry, and Kess) and their different ways of struggling to achieve independence from their mother. Combinations of guilt, timidity, anger, and need overlap to suggest that underneath dysfunction, there is still love. The games these people play will perhaps persuade you to reevaluate family relations in general.

Performance Dates are: Apr 9-25, 2010

Directed by: Fran Pesch

Auditions will be held at:
The Caryl D. Philips TheatreScape
430 Wayne Avenue
Dayton, OH 45410

Casting Requirements:

•Evelyn (50s) - mother - unstable, manipulative, but pitifully lonely
•Kess (late 20s-early 30s) - eldest daughter - lesbian, Minneapolis-based professor returning home for the latest family crisis
•Jo (mid 20s) - middle daughter - single and pregnant, torn between duty and desire to have a life of her own
•Sherry (early 20s) - youngest daughter - rebellious, can't wait to get away from home

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Please note: if you have not previously auditioned for the director, you will be asked to perform a 1 minute contemporary monologue (memorized).
