Please bring proof of Covid-19 vaccination to auditions. Auditions are cold readings.
4 Women, 2 Men—Minimum 5—Doris or Mrs. Huggins can double with Mrs. Birch
Doris West—A nondescript girl of 28. Friend of Enid. Similar age.
Mrs. Huggins—A middle-aged woman, housekeep, singing, cheerfully pessimistic. Husband controlling.
Enid Bradshaw—A pretty girl of 28. Engaged for several years to a man who returns to marry her. Looking for some adventure.
Gerald Strange—An attractive man of about 38. Looks like a man who has lived an outdoor life. He has rather a diffident, boyish manner, which endears him to women. There is nothing bold or flashing about him. Becomes somewhat self-centeredly mad.
Dick Lane—A gentle man of 35, looking older than his years. He stoops a little and has a diffident manner. Rather meek at first but belatedly learns to speak his mind.
Mrs. Birch—A thin, anemic looking woman with a flat depressed voice. She has none of Mrs. Huggins’ cheerful pessimism.
Show dates are November 11, 12, and 13 and November 18, 19, and 20 at the Hallowell City Hall.
