Centenary Stage Company to hold open-call audition for Off The Map by Christine Foster
HACKETTSTOWN, NJ (Warren County) — Centenary Stage Company will be holding an open-call audition for their upcoming production of Off the Map by Christine Foster.
Auditions will be held on Feb. 28th 10:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. and walk-ins will be seen as time permits. Equity and n-union actors will be seen. The auditions will be in the Lackland Performing Arts Center of the Centenary University campus at 715 Grand Avenue in Hackettstown.
Performers will be asked to read from sides which can be found online at centenarystageco.org and will also be provided the day of auditions. The first rehearsal will take place on March 7, 2023, and performances will run March 23 through April 2. All performers must show proof of vaccination.
The play follows Denny and Claire who have retired to the wilds of Central America, where they quickly discover that things are not as they were expecting, neither in their relationship, nor in their new property. A mysterious mound is discovered by a pair of archaeologists who arrive on the scene, making a shattering discovery which will challenge all their beliefs about what is ever truly real and what is imagined.
Seeking:
Denny Newhart, M: Fifties, energetic and optimistic. He truly embraces his newly found retirement and wants to find the real meaning of escape. Denny is married to Claire and adores his wife, but his idea of retirement isn’t quite living up to her expectations. CAST
Claire Newhart, F: Fifties, active and imaginative. She is, quite possibly, in the middle of an existential crisis. Claire’s view of paradise doesn’t include lack of communication with the known world and she’s not 100% sure retirement was the right answer for her. CAST
Dr. Julio Ferrero, M: 40-ish. Mexican but, educated in Europe, has a mid-Atlantic accent. Dr. Ferrero is charismatic, charming, and definitely in touch with his spiritual side
Angela Lang, F: Mid-twenties. A graduate student. (Preferably non-Caucasian). The true voice of reason, Angela is realist and A-Type personality. She is the smartest person in the room, no doubt about it.
Weekly salary is $437.00
In Attendance, Georgia Mallory Guy, Director
