Interested in acting or stage directing an original play this summer? Auditions for cast and crew for a stage production of "A Trip to the Symphony," an original play by me, Riley Meachem, will be held on June 4th and 5th in the Wilton Playshop from 6-9.
We are currently trying to fill the roles of three male speaking parts ages 18-55, with actors who have at least some experience with theater. We also need one lighting tech, one sound tech, and a stage manager, and possibly one or two extra crew members.
The play revolves around a closeted homosexual police chief, Titus Wellington, in the 1950's, and his attempts to out and incriminate a former lover who has rejected him. To do so, he calls upon an old war buddy, Ben, now a bitter and unsuccessful Private investigator, to catch his ex, a well-known composer and conductor named Johann, in a compromising position. Things get complicated when this task awakens latent emotions in Ben, causing him to question his ethics, values, masculinity, and sexual identity.
Please note that the play strong language, violence, sexual situations, and disturbing and upsetting scenarios. Because of this, and the fact that this is a college-level production, auditions open to adults, college students, or graduating high school seniors.
