MINI FESTIVAL 3 AUDITIONS

CONSTELLATIONS
By NICK PAYNE
Directed by CHRISTINE CRAWFIS
SUN JAN 22 | 1pm

Performances: MARCH 3 & 4

One relationship. Infinite possibilities. A story of love, honey, and a quantum multiverse. Moment by moment, can everything you’ve ever and never done exist in the same vortex of reality? Elegant and playful yet profoundly moving, “Constellations” blends the everyday and the ethereal, the actual and the imaginable, revealing that every outcome may only be the first link in a chain of cosmic consequences.

 

Roles:

  • Marianne – a fiercely intelligent scientist dealing with a terminal illness; though she’s a serious professional working in the top 1% of her field, she has a quirky, head-in-the clouds quality; friendly, warm, and quick-witted, comedic chops. 30 – 40s
  • Roland – a charming, laid-back beekeeper; warm and open, with a good sense of humor, earthy and likable. 30s – early 50s
  • No ethnicity limitation on casting.
  • These characters play several versions of themselves so strong characterization skills are required.

By LAUREN GUNDERSON
Directed by PARKER REED

As the British Industrial Revolution dawns, young Ada Byron Lovelace sees the boundless creative potential in the “analytic engines” of her friend and soul mate Charles Babbage, inventor of the first mechanical computer.
