Drama Works Theatre (Old Saybrook, Connecticut) seeks non-union actors to play two women and two men in Larissa Fasthorse's The Thanksgiving Play, a comedy about all the ways we go wrong in trying to do right. Auditions will be held at the theatre on Saturday, July 11, starting at 10am, and on Monday, July 13, starting at 7pm.

Contact [email protected] to be added to the audition list and receive sides.

Performances will be October 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18.

LOGAN -- Female, Caucasian-looking, the high school drama teacher who's always pushing the envelope in potentially inappropriate ways. Earnest about theatre and proving herself.

JAXTON -- Male, Caucasian-looking, yoga practitioner/actor. Politically correct to a fault, a big one. He's that confident guy everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns.

ALICIA -- Female, brunette, Caucasian-looking but has looks that would have been cast as ethnic in 1950s movies. Without guile. Sexy and hot, but not bright.

CADEN -- Male, Caucasian-looking, the academic. Awkward elementary school history teacher with dramatic aspirations but no experience.
