AUDITION
NOTICE

Iron
Mountain Stage Company is happy to
announce auditions for "Love Letters" by
A.R. Gurney at the Ringwood Public
Library, 30 Cannici Drive (off Skyline
Drive) in Ringwood, NJ on Wednesday, March
27th from 7-8 PM and Saturday, March 30th
from 10-11 AM.
Nominated
for a Pulitzer Prize, "Love Letters" is
focused around the correspondence of
Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd
III. It follows the two characters through
their nearly 50-year bittersweet
relationship. Since the characters are
reading from letters, there will be no
need for lengthy memorization.
Melissa
is a lively, unstable artist and Andrew is
a staid, dutiful lawyer. A unique and
imaginative theatre piece which, in the
words of the author, "needs no theatre, no
lengthy rehearsal, no special set, no
memorization of lines, and no commitment
from its two actors beyond the night of
performance." The piece is comprised of
letters exchanged over a lifetime between
two people who grew up together, went
their separate ways, but continued to
share confidences.
Casting:
Andrew
Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner:
Both born to wealth, childhood friends,
romantically attached. They continue to
exchange letters through boarding school,
college years, marriage, careers, affairs,
and ultimately, until they become
spiritually as close as only true friends
and lovers can be.
We
will be creating a 7-person company for
these three performances (1 stage manager,
6 actors). Each pair of actors, 1 male and
1 female, will star in two of the six
performances. Time commitment is not
extensive.
Dates
and times of performances have not yet
been finalized but will be in late Spring
in Passaic and Bergen County locations.
