Auditions for "THE DRAWER BOY"

John Mitty Tuesday, December 4, 2012

The Hampton Theatre Company will hold open auditions for “The Drawer Boy," Canadian playwright Michael Healey's fascinating and poignant play about a pair of Canadian farmers whose long buried secrets come to light when a young actor pays them a visit. Auditions are Sunday and Monday, January 20 and 21, from 6-8 p.m. at the Quogue Community Hall on Jessup Avenue in Quogue. "The Drawer Boy" contains roles for 3 men. Both union and non-union actors are invited to attend.

HTC is seeking actors for the roles of: MORGAN (50s), a hard-working and stoic farmer and WWII veteran who is very protective of his friend Angus and has buried painful memories of his past; ANGUS (50s), Morgan's large and simple friend who was wounded in WWII and has lost large parts of his memory; MILES (20s), a young and innocent actor.

Rehearsals for “The Drawer Boy" begin in mid-February, with performances running from March 21 through April 7, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, at the Quogue Community Hall. Sarah Hunnewell directs.

Readings will be from the script. No monologue or appointment is necessary. For more information, contact hamptontheatre@optonline.net or 631-726-4656. Information about the theater company can be found on the company’s web site, www.hamptontheatre.org. Anyone unable to attend the scheduled audition times, but who would like to read, should contact the company and an alternate time will be arranged if possible. Local housing is available for out-of-town actors. Special Appearance contract for Equity actors, if applicable.
