[NEohioPAL] Reminder - Upcoming Auditions for "Well Beings" by Greg Vovos at Tri-C West

[Gloor, Fred via NEohioPAL]

The Tri-C Western Campus Theatre Department announces auditions for the WORLD PREMIER production of:
Well Beings by Greg Vovos
Directed by Greg Vovos

After being booted from a recovery center, Anton returns home to what his mother and father hope will be his journey to recovery, but the Echo in his head and his need for heroin make that incredibly difficult. Meanwhile, Jack surprises Holly when he informs her that he wants to get clean so they can have a bright future together. But Holly has little interest in a future without heroin, despite her love for Jack. Looming over all these characters is the Gravedigger who has the unfortunate task of burying the dead. A mix between OUR TOWN and DEATH OF A SALESMAN, this sometimes absurd, sometimes all-too-real drama examines one of the biggest crises facing our society today.

Auditions are September 14th and 15th at 6 pm in the Western Campus Theatre located at 11000 Pleasant Valley Rd., Parma, OH 44130. No appointment necessary. Monologue's will be accepted, and auditioners should be prepared to read from the script. You should bring headshot and resume as well as a complete list of your upcoming conflicts. Rehearsals will begin on September 21st. There may be small stipends for actors to play the parents.  There are no Equity contracts for this production.


CHARACTERS:

ANTON WATERS - A man in his thirties struggling with heroin addiction. He needs to quiet the voice.
MARY WATERS - Anton's mom. She loves with the strength and endurance that only a mother can.
JOHN WATERS - Anton's Dad. He has Cancer. But if you asked him, he'd tell you that's the least of his problems.
HOLLY - A girl in her twenties, also a heroin addict. If she could stop feeling altogether, she would. But Jack makes that difficult for her. Her life has not been easy to put it mildly.
JACK - The Romeo to Holly's Juliet. He's an addict but he's determined to get clean for both Holly and himself.
ELLA - A recovering heroin addict in her thirties. She facilitates the NA meetings.
THE ECHO - An unkind voice in Anton's head.
THE GRAVEDIGGER - He buries the dead.
MAN - A sweaty, gross middle-aged man. Feel free to double this role.
JESSE - a.k.a. The Mad Hatter. Recovering user who attends meetings. A wildcard.
VINCE - A slick user that Anton met at the recovery center.
