OPEN AUDITIONS FOR NUTS!

The Ridgefield Theater Barn will hold open auditions for Nuts, a play by Tom Topor, Sunday, March 18th and Monday, March 19th at 7pm at the Ridgefield Theater Barn, 37 Halpin Lane, Ridgefield, CT. The production will be directed by Sherry Asch. Performances will be on Friday and Saturday evenings starting June 1^st and continuing through June 23^rd, with Sunday matinees on June 10^th and 17^th.

Set in a courtroom in New York's Bellevue Hospital, the story follows a high-priced call girl incarcerated on a charge for killing a violent"john". A court appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor say Claudia Faith Draper is unfit to stand trial for manslaughter. As testimony from experts, physicians and her parents unfolds, Claudia's psyche and childhood are dissected, and she must prove that she isn't"nuts," but legally sane to stand trial.

Those auditioning will be asked to read from sides provided. The production team is also seeking a stage manager and producer. For more information, including a cast breakdown, please visit
