Rome Little Theatre hosts auditions for ‘Morningside’
Rome Little Theatre will be holding auditions for its upcoming production of ‘Morningside’ Dec. 6 and 7.
From the playwright and the production team that produced “Tokens of Affection,” comes a play set in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta. Nine women have gathered for a baby shower at Grace Driscoll’s beautifully appointed home, fully expecting to go through the motions of social niceties. But an unforeseen event in Grace’s life and a few unexpected guests send the party careening into uncharted territory. Simmering resentment, cutthroat professional conflict, fierce battles of will. These are 21st century Southern women, and they have no interest in blessing your heart.
The show is directed by Jessica Stewart and produced by Katie Farmer. Auditions are open to actors age 18 and older. There are 9 roles available. Actors from underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to audition.
Audition information and instructions are available at romelittletheatre.com
Those wishing to audition should let the director know of any parts they do not want to accept. They should also list all conflicts.
Digital perusal scripts are available. Email romelittletheatre@gmail.com to request temporary access.
