The Brewster Theater Company, Inc.

announces auditions for their

Spring 2006 production of

“Wonder of the World”

by David Lindsey-Abaire

Niagara Falls isn’t just for lovers---it’s for those on the run from love, too.   

Cass Johnson senses there’s something wrong in her marriage, and she soon gets confirmation that there are indeed secrets her husband keeps from her. Distraught, she heads out of New York on the first bus---to Niagara Falls. She picks up a crazy sidekick on the bus, and the list of odd characters continues to accumulate as she seeks love, and her husband seeks her. Lindsey-Abaire’s oddball comedy has much to say on both love and secrets.

Join our audition mailing list, to be the first to know about upcoming auditions! 

Everyone is always encouraged to audition.

No Experience is necessary!
"I can’t act!", you say. But a theater has many other slots to fill before a production is ready for an audience. Some are: build sets;  write publicity; box office; design programs; ushers; work on the Newsletter; props; costumes;  and on and on and on. So come and find out more about this fun and fulfilling community group!

So what happens when you come?
You'll be asked to read a scene or multiple scenes from the play with several other actors.

Very Important - Bring a list of dates (conflicts) when you will not be available to rehearse.

If you are not cast on your first attempt, don't be discouraged. There are lots of reasons director's cast a show the way they do and you may have an opportunity in another show.
