*Auditions - “Ten Minutes from Cleveland”* Ten short plays by Eric Coble (Cleveland Heights, OH) Presented Virtually by The Hudson Players Directed by Don Bernardo Synopsis: A series of ten scenes set at various locations in the Cleveland area in 2005: “Detroit-Superior Bridge”, “West Side Market”, “RTA Train”, “Legacy Village”, “Cleveland Clinic”, “Tremont”, “Jacobs Field”, “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame”, “Lakeview Cemetery”, “The Flats”. There are 21 male roles and 18 female roles available in these scenes.

Actors of all ethnicities are encouraged to audition. (Those interested may peruse the character list on pages 2-3 of the script, available online at the link appearing below.) The director will email a Zoom link to all auditioners the day prior to the audition. No recorded auditions accepted. If you cannot attend any of the scheduled slots, email the director (donbernardo@sbcglobal.net) who may schedule a private audition at his discretion, and pending availability.
