'Romance in D' Auditions

St Marys Community Players are holding auditions for the 4 character play Romance in D Friday Dec. 8 at 7pm and Saturday Dec. 9 at 1pm at St Marys United Church, 85 Church St S, St Marys.

The roles are for 2 men one in his 40s and the other in his 60s, and for 2 women one in her 40s and the other in her 60s. The play will be performed April 26-30, May 3-6, 2007.

The play takes place in two side-by-side apartments in present-day Chicago. Charles Norton, a musicologist, lives in one apartment alone with his books and music. Isabel Fox, a poet on the verge of a divorce, moves into the other apartment and puts her head in the oven in a half-baked suicide attempt. Charles, next door, smells the gas and inadvertently becomes Isabel's savior. George Fox, Isabel's father comes to town and tries to cheer Isabel up. Helen Norton, Charles' mother, encourages Charles to get to know Isabel.

All four characters use their knack for music and words as they nervously navigate the path of true love. James Sherman's website
