“Swing State” Audition for the Theater

Theater
Description

Theatre announces auditions for “Swing State”. Actors needed. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below.

About the project:
Story: Recently widowed, Peg tends to the 40 acres of native prairie that rises behind her rural Wisconsin home. Her solitary days are interrupted only by visits from Ryan, a family friend with a checkered past. When her late husband’s foot locker is ransacked in her barn, she places a call to the local authorities—unwittingly setting off a series of events that will forever change their lives. As Peg and Ryan fight to regain each other’s trust, they learn how to help one another in a new and meaningful way and how to forge a sense of hope in a time when it feels like everyone’s way of life is in danger of disappearing.
“But Gilman, whose steady stream of plays and ties to the theater have made her the most produced living playwright in Goodman’s history, delivers with “Swing State” an engrossing work of intense melancholy, filled with sympathy for its characters, and for the country.”

Performance Dates: 11/14-11/23/25.
