Torchlight Theatre is holding auditions for Kelly Rebar's
Bordertown Cafe Director by: Valerie
Planche*
Synopsis:
"Seventeen-year-old Jimmy faces the
archetypal Canadian dilemma: stay home in Canada, with all its obvious flaws,
or go south (young man) to the Land of Opportunity. Jimmy's dad is the
powerfully encoded Western hero of American popular myth - the cowboy as
trucker, living his freedom and riding the roads of Wyoming. He offers Jimmy
the prosperity of his new American home, a large modern house fully equipped
with everything, including a capable new wife. In contrast, Jimmy's mom,
Marlene, is a failed wife and a weak, ¬tentative mother. The home she has made
for herself and her son on "the Canadian side of nowhere" is
provisional and shabby: half finished, ill equipped, badly decorated.
What's a boy to do?"
