The Actors Theatre Playhouse is scheduling interviews and auditions for its 2013 production of Annie Baker's Circle Mirror Transformation, slated for August at the Playhouse.
Actors and production volunteers are welcome to write for an appointment with director Josh Moyse.
Set in the community center of fictional Shirley, Vt., this new comedy mixes antic sadness and hilarious detail as five (mostly) strangers participate in an adult creative drama class. Over the course of the six-week class, they play “theater games” that reveal themselves dramatically to each other and, more importantly, themselves.
Roles are open for three women and two men (character ages approximate):
• Marty, 55. The acting teacher, and a restless free spirit.
• James, 60. Marty's husband, and a teacher at the local college. A free spirit, who is now bound to the Earth.
• Theresa, 35. An attractive former actress who recently has moved up from the city to the country. She just ended a long-term relationship.
• Schultz, 48. Middle-aged, divorced, lonely, and living in the town's condominium complex.
• Lauren, 16. A teenager who knows she has to spread her wings, no matter how little she wants to.
