Audition Schedule for the Ephrata Performing Arts Center
NEEDED:
A actor to play the lead role of Hal Carter in William Inge's 1953 Pulitzer Prize-winner Picnic at the Ephrata Performing Arts Center. Hal is a drifter in his mid-20s who left college for adventuring on the West Coast and has come to visit - and maybe get a job from - his college friend Alan. But as he does yard work, shirtless, for his breakfast in Alan's small Kansas home town, he meets Alan's girlfriend, Madge, and sparks fly. The role requires some moments of stage combat and also includes ballroom dancing, all of which can be taught. Final casting will probably require a reading with the actors playing Madge and Alan. Rehearsals for Picnic begin in early July and continue, five evenings a week, until the play's September 8 opening. Other performances are on September 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, and 17 at 8 p.m. and September 17 at 2 p.m. Contact director Michael Swanson at swansonm@etown.edu or artistic director Ed Fernandez at artisticdirector@ephrataperformingartscenter.com
