AUDITIONS SET FOR CHURCH HILL THEATRE’S NOVEMBER PRODUCTION OF WAIT UNTIL DARK
Set in a Greenwich Village apartment, Wait Until Dark is a tense thriller about Susy Hendricks, a recently blinded housewife who unwittingly possesses a doll filled with illicit drugs. Woven into the story are secret identities, murder, and a cruel cat-and-mouse game between the blind woman and the trio of criminals who stalk her in order to get the doll. Written by Dial "M" for Murder playwright Frederick Knott, Wait Until Dark was turned into the 1967 film of the same name, starring Audrey Hepburn as Susy Hendricks and Alan Arkin as Harry Roat. In 1998, the play was revived on Broadway, and starred Marisa Tomei as Susy and Quentin Tarantino as Roat.
Auditions for the Church Hill Theatre's November production will be held on Tuesday, July 28th and Thursday, July 30th at 6:30 PM, and Saturday morning, August 1st at 9 AM.
Director Bonnie Hill is seeking a Cast of 6 men - ages 25-60; 1 woman - age 21-45; and 1 girl - age 9-12. Familiarity with the play is helpful, but not necessary. Come prepared to present a one-two minute suspenseful monologue (e.g. reading or poem), and to do cold readings from the script.
*An experienced Stage Manager, a Properties person, and Technical assistance are also needed. Performances are November 6-22, Fridays and Saturdays at 8PM, and Sundays at 2PM. For more information, call/email Bonnie Hill at 410-348-5181 or email bonniehill@wildblue.net.
