Open auditions for 'Enchanted April'
On Saturday, Jan. 14 from 10 a.m. until noon and Sunday, Jan. 15 from 7-9 p.m., open auditions will be held at the Marion Art Center for its spring production of “Enchanted April” by Matthew Barber.
The two-act period dramedy is a 2003 Tony Award nominee for Best Play and is based on the novel by Elizabeth von Arnim. Feeling lost in the shadows of marriage and post-WWI society, two unhappy London housewives rent a villa in Italy for a ladies-only holiday retreat, reluctantly recruiting a pair of difficult upper-class women to share the cost and the experience. Under the Mediterranean sun, the four women clash and then begin to bond and bloom until men once again upset the balance. The play calls for five women and three men of varying ages. Production dates for the show are March 31, April 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9. Kate Fishman will direct.
