Auditions Announced for THE WOMEN at Dayton Playhouse

DPH_logoThe Dayton Playhouse is pleased to announce auditions for the comedy of manners, THE WOMEN to be held on Monday and Tuesday, January 23 & 24, 2017.  Auditions will be at 7 pm each evening at the Dayton Playhouse, 1301 E.

THE WOMEN is a 1936 American play.  It is an acerbic commentary on the pampered lives and power struggles of various wealthy Manhattan socialites and up-and-comers and the gossip that propels and damages their relationships. While men frequently are the subject of their lively discussions and play an important role in the action on-stage, they are strictly characters mentioned but never seen.

The director will be casting 20 Women ages 20’s-60’s (good actresses of all shapes, colors and sizes, ten of these actresses will play “multiple parts”) and 1 Young Girl age 10-12.  Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script.  If possible, bring a resume and definitely be prepared to list all conflicts between January 23 and March 19. Questions should be sent to Robb Willoughby Willobee2000@aol.com.
