Auditions for reading of new work

First Run Theatre is holding auditions for roles in a reading of "The Jewish Dating Cycle" by David Crespy June 10th from 1200 to 300 at De Smet Jesuit High School, 233 New Ballas Rd, Creve Coeur, MO 63141. The reading will be directed by Anna Blair and is open to Equity and Non-Equity actors. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the play. The play will be read June 24th during the First Run Theatre Fundraiser.

Kosher love is hard to find!  Follow the adventures of Nadya Finkelstein, a single mom and eccentric professor, as she struggles through the strange looking-glass world of dating over the age of 35.  In a world turned topsy-turvy with talking furniture, crazy suitors, flamboyant and cinematic guilt-trips, and vaguely-threatening vegetarians, Nadya discovers the meaning of true love as she stalks that elusive prey-the nice Jewish guy!
