Re-Casting the Role of BO DECKER in BUS STOP
by Craig Joseph via NEohioPAL 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

I'M IN NEED OF A COWBOY. Well, sort of. Looking to recast the role of BO DECKER in an upcoming production of BUS STOP at Aurora Theater. Rehearsals begin December 11th, and the show runs January 27 - February 18th, Fridays and Saturday evenings. Looking to cast a strong 20-something actor as a boisterous, energetic cowboy who's looking to carry a young singer back to his ranch in Montana and make her his wife. He's proud and boastful and pretty simple, but his oomph masks a level of naivety and sensitivity about matters of love and romance. Interested parties can contact me, the director, at craigjose(a)gmail.com to set up an audition time. A PDF of the script can also be e-mailed if you need to familiarize yourself with the play.
