Auditions: Girls Ages 12 - 14 for New Play at NJ Rep

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 05/09/2012

(LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- The New Jersey Repertory Company, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch is holding open auditions for local girls ages 12 -- 14 on May 22 and May 23 from 4pm-- 8pm for "Release Point" a world premiere by award winning playwright, Gino DiIorio. For additional information or to schedule an audition email [email protected] or call 732-229-3166 and ask for SuzAnne at ext 101.

"Release Point" is being directed by Joel Stone and stars NJ Rep regulars Michael Irvin Pollard and Jenny Vallancourt. The role being cast is a small, but pivotal role. The play deals with a family torn apart by a heinous act and the philosophic questions "Is it possible that someone can forgive the unforgiveable? Is there a place at the table for those who have done great harm? Is there truly the possibility of redemption for us all?" A father (Pollard) and daughter (Vallancourt) confront these issues and more while trying to mend their relationship through the one thing that connects them ... baseball.

NJ Rep is currently presenting the wildly funny spoof on Sherlock Holmes, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Steven Canny and John Nicholson. Performances run through May 27 and are followed by the world premiere of "American Stare" by Tony Glazer, a contemporary comic-drama set in rural Florida.
