True North Cultural Arts Announces Upcoming Auditions:

*Falling* by Deanna Jent
Directed by Melissa Crum

*About the Play: *

Falling boldly explores the dynamic and complicated reality of a
family with an autistic young man. When a relative comes to visit, the
entire family is thrown out of equilibrium, with everyone trying to
balance what is best for the family and what is best for them. The
play bravely speaks a truth about love and family and about hopes
and dreams. It asks, “How do you love someone who is difficult to love?”
