<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%"><font face="Calibri">Come be a part of theatre you may have never experienced before - a new script working directly with the playwright! I will be having final auditions and callbacks for
<em>Rumpelstiltskin</em> this Monday at 7pm at the Players Guild Theatre in Canton. I am still searching for the right mix of male actors to portray the King, Papa and Gustav. The role of Rumpelstiltskin can be a male or female actor. I will work with any potential scheduling conflicts. Please - do not miss this
<em>once-in-a-lifetime</em> chance to work with the actual playwright on the script! Our world premiere is going to be presented as an exciting staged reading. I will be using a variety of types of music to underscore the entire production. If you have never worked on an original world premiere script before -
<em>please come and read from the script! </em>The playwright, Tom Bryant, who is a resident of Canton, will be work shopping his original script during the rehearsal process as we put voices and music to the page. </font>
