SUSAN HILL – LINDA LOMAN

She’d like to thank director Kelly Keller for casting her in this classic piece of theatre. And most of all, she would like to thank her Encore-winning husband Mike Mellott for his unwavering support.

Love can be deadly. Truth can be haunting.

Three brides thought their voices were silenced. But their stories rise to the surface. Join us for auditions for Main Street Productions’ spring thriller, THE DROWNING GIRLS. Directed by Molly Bellner.

Audition for THE DROWNING GIRLS this January at MSP!
📅 January 4 & 5 | 7-9PM
📍 Basile Westfield Playhouse (220 N. Union St., Westfield)
Enter through the right-side doors at the front of the building. Auditions will be held upstairs.

🫧 WHAT TO EXPECT
Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Please bring a theatrical résumé and list of all conflicts from January 8 - March 29.

NOTE: Those cast must be comfortable getting wet on stage - head to toe, but clothed. Actors will be required to be barefoot, submerged in a few inches of water, have water poured over their heads, move in and out of clawfoot bathtubs, and move quickly around a wet stage, all while wearing Victorian wedding gowns. This is a physically demanding show.

REHEARSALS
Primarily Saturdays (4-hour daytime blocks), and 1–2 weekday evenings. Due to the nature of the play, all actors will be called to most rehearsals.

Questions? Contact director Molly Bellner at [email protected] prior to auditions.

💦 SHOW SYNOPSIS
THE DROWNING GIRLS recounts the story of Bessie, Alice, and Margaret, three of the many wives of George Joseph Smith, an Edwardian opportunist who made a living marrying women, taking out life insurance policies for them and subsequently drowning them in their baths. Three ghostly brides surface from bathtubs to gather evidence against their womanizing, murderous, husband by reliving the shocking events leading up to their deaths. As they make their case, they discover how they have been victimized not only by George Joseph Smith, but also by society at large. Full of rich images, a myriad of characters, a quirky sense of humor, and lyrical language, THE DROWNING GIRLS is both breathtaking fantasia and social critique.

ROLES TO BE CAST
All roles are open. Ages listed are character ages, but actors in a broad age range should feel comfortable auditioning.

The 3 main characters are women, but actors of any female-presenting gender are welcome to audition.

Dialect Note: Bessie, Alice, and Margaret will use neutral (Generican) dialects. Other characters will use various British dialects.

BESSIE – 33, any race or ethnicity
(also plays: George, Caroline, John, Dr. Billings, Mrs. Rapley, Amelia, Marks, Sgt. Page)

ALICE – 26, any race or ethnicity
(also plays: John, George, Henry, Mrs. Tuckett, Mrs. Crossley, Jane, Inspector Neil, Mr. Bodkin)

MARGARET – 38, any race or ethnicity
(also plays: Henry, The Conductor, Alice’s Mother, Mrs. Blatch, Sgt. Reid, Knowles, Miss Brighton)

💖 Show Synopsis: ALMOST, MAINE, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So, it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

ALMOST, MAINE consists of 9 separate stories/ scenes. While the play is often performed with only four actors portraying multiple roles, the director has chosen to cast a larger group. Selected actors may appear in a single story or in multiple scenes, with final decisions regarding multiple roles determined after auditions.

The director is seeking actors with stage ages ranging from 20s to 60s, up to six men and six women. Two male actors must be able to perform repeated floor falls. Actual couples are encouraged to audition.

ROLES TO BE CAST: All roles are open. All ages are stage ages. All body types, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities will be considered.

Pete & Ginette (20s) A dating couple in the prologue and epilogue

East & Glory (30s–40s) A repairman and a hiker who meet under unusual circumstances

Jimmy & Sandrine: Ex-couple featured in the "Sad and Glad" vignette

Marvalyn & Steve (20s–40s) A woman who is good at protecting herself and a kind man who has a brother who protects him

Randy & Chad (late 20s–30s) Two county boys who are best friends

Phil & Marci (40s–60s) A hard-working husband and wife "Where It Went" vignette
