Rehearsals will primarily be Monday thru Thursday 7-9:30. For questions about auditions email amanda.l.mayfield@gmail.com Director’s Note: This is a play about language and imagination. The cast must be strong storytellers. Overmyer is handing us deliciously challenging words that paint beautiful and surreal images in our minds. We travel through time and space as we explore new ideas and historical artifacts . Character Breakdown In Eric Overmyer’s own words – this requires a sense of whimsy and a strong cast. Ages are listed just a suggestion – don’t let that stop you from auditioning for a specific character! Alex: 20-30 Alex is the youngest. She is the most modern and the most out of place in the Victorian world. She has boundless energy. Fanny: 30 – 40 Fanny is from the Midwest. She is conservative and has a wry wit.
