THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE - Community Theatre at Woodbury (CTAW) Non Equity Auditions

Community Theatre at Woodbury is casting lead and supporting roles for our March 2027 production. Join us for a story about language, love, and the challenge of finding the right words.

George is devoted to preserving the world’s dying languages, but closer to home, words fail him. His wife, Mary, is leaving, and his lab assistant, Emma, is secretly in love with him.
