Actors Needed for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE at WIT-Women in Theatre

MISC_Casting call2WIT-Women in Theatre has two roles available for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE which goes up on July 15 and runs 16, 22, 23 as Summer Dinner Theatre at The Avenue Stage in Bellevue, KY.  This is your invitation to join a talented and experienced cast of mature actors on a minimalist set in the present time.

The male role is The Collector which is a wonderful role for a young man who looks 18.  This is a role that looks great on any resume.  In WITs production, The Collector is shown as the ghost of Blanche’s dead husband.  This role might be filmed rather than played out on stage.

The female role is Eunice Hubbard, Stanley and Stella Kowalski’s upstairs landlord.  Eunice and her husband, Steve, are a volatile couple who represent where Stanley and Stella could be 15 years in the future.  She is Stella’s friend and confidant, someone Stella runs to easily and often.  The actress who plays Eunice should be able to play someone in her 40’s-50’s.

All inquiries should go to the Director, Donna Hoffman, Sumytra@fioptics.com
