We are currently searching for a man who can play 40s-50s for the role of Walter. The leader of the church responsible for the abduction of Keely. Smart, reserved but has a temper when provoked. Believes in his mission and his church.

Synopsis of Play
Du, a right to life activist, and Keely, a pregnant rape victim she is confining, transcend their circumstances and the ideological issues that separate them. KEELY & DU is a mind probing issue play with a gripping human face. Who is accountable? What is the extent of individual freedom? What are a rape victim’s rights? What are a Christian’s realities of procreation? Their passionate stories exist on the extreme edge of everyday reality.

The rehearsal period is very short and begins at the end of December with an opening date of January 21. We are looking to cast someone immediately. The rest of the show has been cast and includes: Bett Kooris as Du and Kaleigh-Brooke Dillingham as Keely. The show is Directed by Brent Myer.
