East Cleveland Theater is hosting auditions for “The Turn of the Screw”, adapted by James L Seay, from Henry James’ novella of the same name. *Director: Michael Lenzo* Winner of three 2018 Broadway World Awards, including Best Director, Best Scenic Design, and Best Sound Design. *Synopsis:* “The Turn of the Screw” revolves around a new American governess hired to care for two American children in and old English estate. Ghosts from the past are not content with the status quo, but not everyone is ready to acknowledge the ghosts. *The Roles:* (Ages listed are somewhat flexible.) *Flora**: *Girl, 12 to 16 years old Flora, an American, is young and pretty ... carefree. She becomes fast friends with the new governess, Ann, and is best friends with her brother Miles. She is not sure about knowing about the ghosts at the beginning of the show, but eventually falls victim to them. A medium size role. *Miles**: *Boy, 12 to 16 years old Miles, an American, is wise for his years. An easy going, but troubled young man, Miles knows more than he is willing to talk about. He is expelled from school for trying to convince others that the ghosts are real. He is somewhat flirtatious with Ann, the new Governess. A relatively large role. *Audition Dates:* *Auditions are by appointment only.* Thursday, March 21, from 5 to 7pm. Saturday, March 23, from 5 to 7pm. Sunday, March 24, from 11am to 1pm.
