About the Event: The Ghostlight Stage Company looks forward to producing our first ever event in Northern Kentucky with our production of Late, A Cowboy Song by Sarah Ruhl! The Saturday evening performance will be followed by an after-show party, co-hosted by TreeHouse Cincinnati, PFLAG, and Queer Kentucky (more details to come soon). Synopsis of the show: Mary, always late and always married, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse. Red exudes a taste of freedom that Mary didn’t even know she lacked, and is suddenly desperate to find. Late, a Cowboy Song, is the story of one woman’s education and her search to find true love outside the box.

All initial auditions will be held via self tape submission. There may be in person or live zoom callbacks, if needed.

What to Prepare: Please create a self tape featuring 1 contemporary monologue. If auditioning for the role of Red, please also include a 1 minute cut of a song in country/folk/western style where you are singing and accompanying yourself on guitar. This can be an original song or something published. Please frame your video from the waist or chest up and horizontally. Make sure we can see and hear you clearly. Filming on a smart phone is fine – no high-end taping equipment is needed. Please select material that speaks to you as an artist and also aligns with the character you are wishing to be considered for.

Deadline for Submission: Videos will be accepted on a rolling basis until January 26, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. All casting decisions will be made by mid-February at the latest. All submissions will receive a response by then regardless of the outcome.
