Blue Macaroon Theater Company in Doylestown,  OH is proud to announce AUDITIONS for MISERY by William Goldman, based on the novel by Stephen King, on Tuesday, July 30th & Wednesday, July 31st from 6 - 8:30pm.

Auditions will be for the rolls of:

ANNIE WILKES: A nurse who comes to Paul’s rescue (seemingly), Annie seems to be a kind, tender woman who cares deeply for Paul, even if she does seem slightly off. As Paul grows to know her it becomes clearer that Annie is manipulative, cunning, and hides a deep set and terrifying malice behind her cheery simple façade.

PAUL SHELDON: A famed romance novelist tired of the series that has brought him the most acclaim. Returning from a retreat to finish his most recent work, he is involved in a terrible car crash that leaves him with broken legs and unable to care for himself. He’s thoughtful, if not a touch arrogant, and extremely crafty. He quickly realizes how dangerous his situation is and must use anything and everything at his disposal to survive.

BUSTER: The Sherriff of a nearby town searching for Paul. Very friendly with possible hopes of something more with Annie

NOTE: The roles of Paul & Annie will require some physical action.

Directed by JESS GRAY
