Casting actors for “Do No Harm” new musical project. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below.
About the project:
“Growing up in small-town, working class 19th century Ireland, Margaret Bulkley is told what to do, what to think, and how to behave. But this spirited lass refuses to follow the well-worn path of servile, domesticated women before her. Fueled by a joyless childhood and an unflappable ambition, she is determined to become a doctor even if it means living her life in disguise as a man. Over the course of our story, Margaret reinvents herself as Dr. James Barry, sacrificing her womanhood for a greater cause. In the process she becomes the first female surgeon to perform a successful C-section, in which both mother and child survive. Tragically, her accomplishments go undiscovered until her death when the world finally learns that the real genius and medical pioneer was a lady.”
Additional info:
Rehearsals will take place July 21-August 1 with performances on August 2 & 3.
