The New Word Theatre Club will host auditions for a new play “And Go Innisfree” by Jean Lenox Toddie, directed by Christine Probst-Staffen, to be their entry for theatre competition FEATS 2017.

Auditions will be held February 6, from  9:30am to 12 noon and February 7 9:30am-12 noon at Vedanza Dance Studio. Please note that auditions and rehearsals will be held during the day.

The play synopsis: “It is autumn. An older woman appears on a deserted New England beach. She has come to make a decision, but will she make it alone? The middle aged matron she was argues her case for the comfort of a retirement home. The younger girl she was urges her to sit again and eat blue berries and study ants. What will she do?”

American accents are not necessary. However, interested actresses will be given a piece from the text to prepare. Everyone will be required to stay the entire time. Please contact Christine Probst at [email protected] to reserve an audition.

The Festival for European Anglophone Theatrical Societies (FEATS) will be held in Frankfurt, Germany 2-5 June 2017. NWTC will also present the play here in Luxembourg in late May prior to performing at the competition.
