Thursday, June 8 & Sunday, June 11, 7 p.m., The Grange
— from Doug Bechtel for Actors Theater of Orcas Island —
The Actors Theater announces auditions for a production of “The Other Place” by Sharr White. This suspenseful drama tells the story of Juliana Smithton, a research scientist. Just as her research leads to a potential breakthrough, her life takes a disorienting turn. One step at a time, a mystery unravels as contradictory evidence, blurred truth, and fragmented memories collide in a cottage on the windswept shores of Cape Cod.
The New York Times said: “Sudden flares of uncontrolled feeling appear like lightning flashes from a sky that was clear just moments before…Gradually our faith in this seemingly most reliable of narrators is undermined by deftly disclosed pieces of information.”
Rehearsals will be on a flexible schedule during the summer with seven performances the first three weekends in September. There is a copy of the script available at the Library.
“The Other Place” has roles for a woman and man to play characters in their 50s or 60s and a woman and man to play characters in their 20s or 30s. Auditions will be from readings of the script at the Grange on Thursday, Jun. 8 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Jun. 11 at 7 p.m. For additional information or if you can’t make either of these dates contact Doug Bechtel at doug@orcasactors.org.
