OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS - Town Players Non Equity Auditions

Auditions for OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS at Town Players

Town Players of Newtown announces auditions for OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS by Joe DiPietro on Sunday June 25 from 4-6 PM, and Monday June 26 from 7-9 PM.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS first premiered in the Bronx in 1994. It follows the story of Nick, a single young Italian-American man who is the only member of his family who's still geographically close enough to his two sets of grandparents in suburban New Jersey to join them for dinner every Sunday. Although he loves them all dearly, he sometimes finds them very annoying.

When Nick's family hears the news that he may be moving to Seattle for his dream job, they plot and scheme to introduce him to a “nice Catholic girl” – hoping he’ll be so besotted that moving away will be out of the question. What happens afterward isn’t necessarily what you might expect.

Sherry Asch of Brewster, NY will direct.

The production calls for three men and three women. If possible, actors should read the play in advance and be ready to read sides from the script. No appointment is necessary. All roles are available. Character descriptions are available at
newtownplayers.org.

Rehearsals begin in July, and the production runs Friday and Saturday evenings, August 18 – 26, with one Sunday matinee.

Auditions will take place at The Little Theatre, 18 Orchard Hill Road, Newtown.
