Callbacks may also be on Sunday from 1:00pm - 4:00pm. Those auditioning are asked to prepare a 2 minute monologue from a contemporary play in their own age range - preferably something gritty and dark and varied from a play set in a city written after 1980.  The monologue auditions are walk-in only.

 

WHERE: Auditions will take place at the Washington University West Campus Library, located in Clayton on Forsyth at Jackson, between The Wine & Cheese Place and the new Metrolink station.

 

WHAT: In Jacquelyn Reingold's psychological thriller GIRL GONE, Tish is a young woman who dances in a topless bar. When her best friend is brutally murdered, she becomes obsessed with who killed her friend and why. The action moves rapidly from the past to the present, in and out of Tish's mind from a topless bar, to a hustler's apartment, to the middle of the street, as she tries to put together a fractured world where the pieces no longer fit. Tish finds her suspect playing the saxophone in a jazz club and risks her own life by coercing him into a reenactment of the crime. In a shocking turnaround, Tish finds what she's looking for.

 

Roles are available for 3 women and 3 men. This play is set in the world of exotic dancing, so be advised that the script may call for adult situations.

 

Please note that the roles of Jean, Bobby & Tish may be pre-cast.
