Actor Wanted

Casting for our Spring show, the Virgin Trial, is not quite complete. We are seeking one male actor, approximately 40 years old, to play Thom (Thomas Seymour), Lord High Admiral - athletic, ambitious and charming. The role involves some physicality. Check the Audition Notice on our website and contact the director to set up your audition soon.

the Virgin Trial is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that cleverly explores victim shaming, sexual consent, and the extraordinary ability of girls becoming women - a scandalous and little-known story of Elizabeth Tudor before she was Queen.

PLAY READING Wednesday February 26

Leanne Brodie, a Canadian playwright, wrote The Book of Esther for the Blythe Festival. “It’s June 1981. Farmers face a debt crisis with interest rates as high as 20 percent. More than three hundred men are arrested following police sweeps of Toronto bathhouses, yet Pride Toronto launches its first gay-pride parade. Everything’s changing, including fifteen-year-old Esther, who escapes the family farm and runs away to the city. With the help of a brash young hustler and a gay activist who shelters street kids, she confronts her conservative-Christian parents - farmers on the brink of financial ruin - and begins to find her way home.”

The Book of Esther contains mature language and themes.

For February 17 only, Laughing Gas Improv Group will meet at St. Andrew's Church, 1981 9th Ave at 7:00 PM.
