Set in the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE
tells the darkly comic tale of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman
in her early forties, and Mag, her manipulative aging mother, whose
interference in Maureen’s first and possibly final chance of a loving
relationship sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably
towards the play’s terrifying dénouement.

AUDITIONS for
CONSTELLATIONS
by Nick Payne
Mon/Tue, March 11 & 12
|
|
|
|
Chatham Community Players’ black box series, One Weekend
Only, wraps up its 2nd Season holding auditions for Nick Payne’s CONSTELLATIONS,
directed by Felicity Winter. One Weekend Only was born of the desire to
find a dedicated place at the theater for a different kind of
production. These shows have smaller casts, smaller sets, and are
staged up close our audiences. The subject matter may be challenging.
The humor may be on the dark side. The drama may be intense.
Auditions will be held on Monday,
March 11th and Tuesday, March 12th at 7:00 pm at The Chatham Playhouse 23 North Passaic Ave. Chatham,
NJ. Performances are June 7-9, 2024 with rehearsals to begin
in late March. Actors will be asked to read from sides provided below
at the audition asked to check in by 7:30 pm, unless previously
arranged with the production team.
