Announces Auditions for

Ensemble Theatre announces auditions for their opening production of the 2010-2011 season, Dividing the Estate by Horton Foote. Fresh from a successful Broadway revival, Dividing the Estate is a touching and timely portrait of a Texas family wrangling over the future of the family home during a time of economic downturn. Ensemble audiences will remember past productions of Foote’s Pulitzer Prize winning play A Young Man from Atlanta and his beloved The Trip to Bountiful. Foote, who also won the Academy Award for his screenplay for To Kill a Mockingbird, died last year, and Ensemble is proud to celebrate his amazing career.  Dividing the Estate will be performed in the Brooks Theatre at the Cleveland Play House from: 
November 19 through December 12. 
(No show on Thanksgiving!) 
Rehearsals will begin October 18th. 
  
Auditions will be held 
Monday, August 23 and Tuesday, August 24 
 from 6:30 to 8:30pm
