Auditions are being held Sunday, July 24 for San Juan Community Theatre’s fall play that promises to ask Friday Harbor audiences: “Do you believe in ghosts?”
Director Bobby Ryan will be casting the thriller, The “Woman in Black,” adapted by Stephen Mallatratt, from the book by Susan Hill. This play within a play highlights a lawyer obsessed with a curse that he thinks has been cast on his family surrounding the specter of “The Woman in Black.”
Two men and four actresses will be cast in the play; all experience levels are welcome. The women will be acting in movement only, playing silent characters. Auditions for the men will be held at 1 p.m. and the women at 2:30 p.m. at the PARC Building, 70 Saltspring Drive. Scripts (it is strongly recommended they are read before auditioning) are available at the SJCT box office; actors and actresses MUST register to audition. The SJCT box office is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Ryan is also seeking set designers for the production; experience in set design or set building preferred. For more information, contact him at artdir@sjctheatre.org.
Performances for The Woman in Black will be held in the Whittier Theatre Oct. 14-29; rehearsals begin Sept. 6.
