Cleveland Public Theatre announces Auditions for the world premiere of
The Drowning Girls



Written By: Beth Graham, Charlie Tomlinson and Daniela Vlaskalic

Directed By: Melissa Therese Crum, Joan Yellen Horvitz Directing Fellow



Looking to Cast...



Alice: 26 years old. Young and Naive, love is an exciting new game. "I wanted to be swept off my feet."

Bessie: 33 years old.  A true romantic, love is bliss. "I wanted romance."

Margaret: 38 years old. Practical, love is to avoid being alone. "I just wanted someone."



Equity Contracts are not available for this production.





About the Play...



With their first look at him their lungs filled with air; their hearts began to beat. With their last look at him their lungs filled with water; their hearts would beat no more. Alice, Bessie, and Margaret surface from the still waters of their bathtubs to deliver their post-mortem testimony and tell how they were wooed, wed, insured and murdered. Based on the "Brides in the Bath" murders in England at the beginning of the 20th century, The Drowning Girls is a touching and hauntingly beautiful script.



Actors should be aware that much of the play will take place within three bathtubs and we will be working with water. Actors will play multiple characters and will be using movement and music as essential elements of storytelling. This will be a very physical show.





About the process...



Rehearsals will begin early in March.

Performances will be in the Storefront Studio April 17th-May 3rd  Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays at 7:00pm.
