AUDITION NOTICE: Morpheus Theatre
Morpheus Theatre is pleased to announce Auditions for our
January 2013 production:
THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
A Play by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett newly
adapted by Wendy Kesselman Directed by Amanda Liz Cutting
*** Morpheus Theatre is also recruiting for the
production team. If interested, please
contact us at info@morpheustheatre.ca
Morpheus Theatre is pleased to present this hopeful and
heartwarming classic. A stage adaptation of the book The Diary of a
Young Girl, this play has been touching the hearts of audiences since 1955. It
tells the tale of Anne Frank and her family, along with a handful of
others, hiding from the Nazis in an attic during the occupation of Holland in
1945. Somehow, even though she was surrounded by the horrors of war and the
injustices of prejudice and persecution, this young girl blossomed into
a curious, intelligent and faithful young woman. Her words and her
story survived and continue to inspire, move and teach us all a little bit
about what it is to be human.
In Nazi-occupied Holland, Otto Frank and his family have
decided to go into hiding, because of the increasing persecutions against
Jews. The businessman Kraler and his assistant Miep prepare a hiding place in
the rooms above their place of business, and arrange for the Franks and
another family, the Van Daans, to stay there.
Later on, they are joined by the dentist Dussel.
Together, they try to avoid detection while hoping for Holland to be liberated by the
Allies, but even meeting basic needs can become a challenge, and even
minor incidents could present a grave risk.
Open auditions for all roles will take place:
Tuesday June 26th (7:00 to 9:30pm) and
Wednesday June 27th (7:00 to 9:30pm)
Callbacks will be Wednesday July 4th, if necessary
at the Morpheus Rehearsal Centre
(lower level of the Parkdale Community Centre)
