NEW ART HOUSE PLAY - Art House Productions Non Equity Auditions

NEW ART HOUSE PLAY - Art House Productions

Art House Productions, Christine Goodman (Prod.), is casting for a new, immersive play. Loosely based on Aeschylus’ The Oresteia, the play explores one soldier’s return to his family after he was presumed dead, and the chain reaction it sets off among the people he loves most. This play relies heavily on movement and dance to tell the story. Seeking actors who move very well.

Mason Beggs, Director and Meagan Woods, Choreographer. Rehearsals begin immediately,
evenings and weekends. Performances run June 4-13 in Jersey City.
