Auditions Announced for WIDDERSHINS at Beechmont Players Inc.

BPI_logoBeechmont Players, Inc. announces auditions for WIDDERSHINS by Don Nigro.

Directed by jef brown
Produced by Pam Kaesemeyer

  • Monday, July 30 at 7pm

At the Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Cincinnati OH 45230

In a peaceful house near the Welsh border, an entire family has vanished suddenly without a trace one evening, with supper on the table and no apparent violence. Inspector Ruffing’s attempt to understand what has happened leads him deep into his own dark soul. The only clue is a piece of paper left on a desk with the word “Widdershins written” on it.

The cast will consist of 4 men ages 21-65, and 5 women ages 18-75.

Performance dates are October 19-27, 2018.

Auditions will consist of readings from the script.

Bring resume, known conflicts for the period August 19th through October 28th; headshot not necessary but welcome.
