Playwrights Local 4181, a new company dedicated to supporting the
dramatists of Northeast Ohio, will be holding open auditions for TO THE
ORCHARD, a world-premiere play by Les Hunter, on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016,
from 7:00 to 10:00pm. Callbacks will the following Tuesday, Jan. 19, at the
same location from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

This is a non-Equity, paid production directed by Dale Heinen. Performance
dates are May 26-28 and June 2-4 at the Waterloo Arts Center in Collinwood,
with a third weekend in early June at a TBA location in the eastern suburbs
of Cleveland.

In *To the Orchard*, college student Rachel Bergman is propelled to reveal
her sexual identity to her conservative father, who has hidden his own past
from the family for years. An orthodox rabbi, a queer studies professor,
and the spirits of Robert Plant and Virginia Woolf inhabit this slightly
magic-realist play about family, making mistakes, retribution and coming
clean. Prior to this world premiere, To the Orchard received a National
Foundation for Jewish Culture New Play grant, and development at Boston
Playwrights Theatre and Brooklyn College.
