Thanks for your help spreading the word about the auditions for TALKING WITH... We had a wonderful turnout from across all of Bastrop County, including some very talented high school performers.  A very special thanks goes to the BISD and SISD teachers who passed the audition notice to their students.  
 
Several apprentice/understudy opportunities are still available. Any women interested in being considered for a more limited commitment of one to three performances of the play - including the very special apprentice-only show on Sunday, June 29 - should contact me immediately at jwarwick@bastropia.com.  
 
Thanks again!
 
Best,

TALKING WITH...
by Jane Martin

Directed by Jennifer Warwick

A young woman tests her Christian faith by handling poisonous snakes. A housewife escapes to Oz every day. A destitute woman wants to live in McDonald’s, where the sick are cured by Big Macs and no one ever dies.  A baton twirler sees the face of Jesus thirty feet in the air. 

In eleven powerful monologues, "Talking With ..." by Jane Martin exposes the common bonds of the lives of women as varied as a redneck rodeo champion, a wealthy matron, a grieving daughter, a pregnant woman, and a "slightly bizarre" actress. The unexpected camaraderie revealed in the depth of emotion - and complemented by the playwright`s razor wit - speaks to all audiences.

Please come prepared to read from the play.  Rehearsals will begin on Tuesday, May 13 and will generally take place Mondays through Thursdays between 7 and 9 pm.  All actors will not be called every night until late in the rehearsal process. Specific rehearsals can be scheduled during the day, if requested by the actor(s), through June 5.  Performances are currently scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays, June 13-28, with a special apprentice/understudy matinee on Sunday, June 29.
