Your Theatre, Inc. is holding auditions July 12 at 7pm, for all roles in a possible upcoming 2016-2017 Season special production of a new work concerning the life of John and Mary Brown. The production would run on February 5 and 6, 2017.

Auditions are held in the playhouse located in St. Martin’s Church/Hall complex, 136 Rivet Street at Country Street, in New Bedford. The auditions are open to all actors over the age of 16.

The director is casting all roles. Auditions will consist of cold readings from portions of the script.

This developing production is an exciting and dramatic poetry reading of Veronica Golos’ Rootwork, an exquisitely written portrayal of the lives of abolitionist John Brown and his wife, Mary Day Brown. Those wishing to know more about the book are referred online for a description and reviews.

Roles are available for 3-4 male and 4 female readers, and several singers for spirituals onstage and in an offstage chorus.

We invite new participants, especially those with a bent for the drama of poetry.

Your Theatre celebrates diversity and seeks people of all backgrounds regardless of age, race, creed, or sexual preference. All are welcome!
