Blackbird Auditions this weekend

Dreamwell - Dreamwell will hold auditions for Blackbird by David Harrower Saturday January 9th at 1 pm at the Iowa City Public Library. The show dates are March 19, 20, 26, 27.

THE STORY: Ray is confronted with his past when Una arrives unannounced at his office. Guilt, rage and raw emotions run high as they recollect their relationship when she was twelve and he was forty. Ray, fifty-six, after years in prison and subsequent hardships, has a new identity and has made a new life for himself, thinking that he could no longer be found. Una, twenty-seven, has thought of nothing else, and on finding a photo of him, sets out to find Ray. She is looking for answers not vengeance. Nevertheless, the consequences are shattering.

ACTORS: Male 40s - 60s. Female 20s - 30s. Seasoned/experienced actors are preferred. This play demands commitment and emotional vulnerability from its actors. We will rehearse four times per week.

The script is on reserve at the Iowa City Public Library. If you have questions or are interested but cannot make the audition time, contact director Angie Toomsen at angietoomsen@yahoo.com.
