*East Cleveland presents ...* *The Fall of the House of Usher* *by Gip Hoppe, from the short story of Edgar Allan Poe*, is a psychological gothic melodrama that takes place during the last days of the Usher Family, where even the house is alive. *Michael A Lenzo, Director & Technical Designer* We are seeking 3 male actors: *Roderick Usher*, male, 40’s to 50’s, childhood friend of Ed Allen, whom he hasn’t seen in years. Roderick is a main character that has not been out of the Usher’s family home in almost 30 years. Definitely a great role. *Ed Allen*, male, 40’s to 50’s, childhood friend of Roderick Usher, whom he hasn’t seen in years. Ed is a main character that undergoes a transformation during the show from sane to … let’s just say not sane. A meaty role for the right actor. *Manfredo*, male, 50’s+, Roderick Usher’s grandfather … and a ghost. Strong character actor needed. *Please call **330-416-1311* <330-416-1311>* or email ( * *jcharpie@eastclevelandtheater.org* <jcharpie@east-cleveland-theater.org>* ) to schedule an audition, or if you have questions.
