From ACTORS COLLABORATIVE TOLEDO
Actors Collaborative Toledo (ACT) will hold auditions for its season opener “Fourteen Funerals” a serious comedy by local playwright Eric Pfeffinger. The auditions will be held on Saturday, July 15 from 1-4 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams Street, Toledo. Callbacks (if needed) will be Sunday, July 16 1-4 p.m.
The play is directed by Perrysburg resident, Jennifer Nagy Lake. The area premiere of the play will be performed on Sept. 15 – 17 at the Owens Community College Center for Fine and Performing Arts.
The director is looking for the following:
Millie: age 25-45. Funeral home employee.
Sienna: BIPOC (global majority) Age 25-45. Would-be writer.
THE STORY: It’s weird when city girl Sienna gets a cryptic phone call about the untimely deaths of some distant family members in small-town Blissfield, Indiana. Weirder yet is the way they expect her to deliver eulogies for relatives she’s never met. But weirdest of all: Sienna goes there. Maybe she’s hoping for a big inheritance. Maybe she just really needs to get away from her dead-end life in Chicago. But what she never expected was the tumultuous and rewarding relationship that she develops with Millie, the peculiarly sunny employee of the Blissfield funeral home.
