Auditions for The Heiress by Ruth and Augustus Goetz will be held
on Monday June 18th and Tuesday June 19th 2007, at 7:30pm
in the rehearsal room of the Ron Maslin Playhouse. Please enter at the Stage
Door at the rear of the Playhouse. For more information, or if you are unable to
make it to either audition but wish to be considered for a role, or if you'd
like to take part in the production, please contact the directors Eufron
Williams or Dewi Williams (dewi.williams@sympatico.ca), before
those dates.
The production will be presented on September 18th to 29th,
2007. Rehearsals will begin in August. The early audition allows the costumes
people to measure the actors and get on with, well, costuming.
About the play: The heiress herself lives a sheltered life with her father in
New York city in 1850. Her father has a very large income for that time, and she
herself has an inheritance from her mother. A handsome suitor arrives on the
scene: is he after the girl or her money? Will she accept him?
As well as Heiress, Father and Suitor, there are other good roles to be played:
aunts, cousins, servants, each of whom has his or her own character which can be
inferred from the text. There will be two non-speaking maids, and a coachman who
has a very small part of about three lines. And as the play is set in the
1850s, we can explore the sounds, the lighting, the costumes, the artifacts and
the furnishings of another era: it should make for a
very interesting production.
