CASTING CALL AT THE SOMERSET VALLEY PLAYHOUSE


The Somerset Valley Playhouse in Hillsborough has sent out a casting call for The Curious Savage by John Patrick, directed by Danielle Barry.

This sweet 1950 B’way comedy featured silent screen star Lillian Gish as Ethel Savage who wants to use her vast inheritance to help others realize improbable dreams…reason enough for her 3 grown/greedy stepchildren to commit her to a sanatorium. The doctor, nurse and 5 delightfully wacky (fragile) guests welcome Ethel into their charming, eggshell world, eventually helping her break free of her stepchildren, thereby fulfilling Ethel’s dreams and their own.

Director Danielle Barry is seeking 5 male actors between ages 25 and 60 and 6 females actors between ages 20 and 70+. Additionally one boy between the ages of 5 and 7 is needed for nonspeaking cameo role.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 31, and Wednesday, September 1, 6–9 PM.
