Auditions for Decked! by Ginna Hoben
Directed by Deanna Duplechain
October 7th & 8th at 6:30pm
Synopsis:
On Christmas Eve, Celia’s only child, Kit confesses that she would rather live with her dad and his much younger partner beginning tonight, the couple’s wedding night. Left alone feeling powerless and enraged, Celia turns to alcohol and pills to escape her pain. Then her eccentric sister Louise shows up to help her out of her despair. In a drug-induced state, (is she dead? or just tripping?) Celia wakes up in an alternate dimension where the sisters review her past, present, and potential future. With a nod to the classics, It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, this all-female seriocomic play explores themes of letting go and moving on.
Available roles:
CELIA – Mid 40’s – early 50’s.
KIT – Celia’s daughter. Just over fourteen. Then, later, between the ages of 25 and 30.
LOU – Celia’s sister. Born two years after Celia. Looks young. Guileless… most of the time.
KELSIE – Kit’s new stepmom. Late 20’s or early 30’s.
