The Potomac Playmakers proudly announce auditions for the second show of the 2024-2025 Season, the Arthur Miller drama “A View From The Bridge.” The play is set in 1950s America, in an Italian-American neighborhood near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It employs a chorus and narrator in the character of Alfieri. Eddie, the tragic protagonist, has an improper love for, and almost an obsession with, Catherine, his wife Beatrice’s orphaned niece, so he does not approve of her courtship of Beatrice’s cousin Rodolpho. The play addresses the tensions between community loyalty and the trials of becoming an American.
Produced with kind permission from Dramatists Play Service, “A View From The Bridge” will be directed by Cathy James. Audition dates are scheduled for August 26 & 27, 2024 at 7PM, at the Potomac Playmakers Performing Arts Center, located at 17303 W. Washington Street, Hagerstown, MD. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. The script includes fifteen roles, including males from 20’s to 50’s, and females from 17 to their 60’s. Some roles may be adjusted to accommodate the cast, and performers of all races, genders, and creeds are encouraged to audition. Audition forms can be downloaded HERE.
Show dates for “A View From The Bridge” will be November 15-17 & 22-24, 2024. Tickets are available HERE.
