Announcing Auditions for Winding Road Theater's 15th season!

Winding Road Theater Ensemble will be holding 2023-2024 season auditions Saturday April 22nd from 2pm-4pm at Eckstrom-Columbus Library located at 4350 E. 22nd St. in Tucson.

At Winding Road we practice inclusive casting. Directors are looking for 10+ actors of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. We will be casting for two shows:

String of Pearls by Michele Lowe. On the eve of her granddaughter Amy's wedding, Beth asks to see the pearls she gave Amy's mother long ago. When Amy cannot produce them, Beth determines to find the pearls. Spanning 35 years, the pearls touch the lives of mothers and daughters, sisters and friends, even husbands and wives as they weave a deeply affecting story of love and loss. While the pearls are stolen, bought, bestowed, unstrung and nearly lost, four actresses play 27 characters in this deeply moving drama that is as fresh as it is funny. Dates are not yet determined for this play. We are trying for a November/December 2023 run. Roles in String of Pearls are open to any actor comfortable playing women.

Amadeus by Peter Shaffer. In the court of the Austrian Emperor Joseph II, Antonio Salieri is the established composer. Enter the greatest musical genius of all time: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition, to be a great composer. Mozart is a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who has that which is beyond Salieri's envious grasp: Genius. Amadeus premiered at the National Theatre in London in 1979, before transferring to Broadway, where it won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1981. The film version, screenplay also by Peter Shaffer, won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1985. This play will run in February 2024. Amadeus will be cast gender blind. The role of Salieri is not available.

Auditioners should prepare two short (30 second to 1 minute) contrasting contemporary monologues. Monologues should be no more than 2 minutes in total length.
