Carmel Community Players and director Lori Raffel are excited to announce auditions for THE WOMAN IN BLACK, the last production of our 2023-2024 season! AUDITION DETAILS
Auditions will consist of reading from the script for male roles and some motion work from the females.
THE STORY
A junior solicitor Arthur Kipps, attends the funeral of Mrs. Alice Drablow, somewhere on England's bleak East Coast. When he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold. None of the locals will talk of the woman in black nor of her terrible purpose. Years later, as a man, he recounts his experiences to an actor in a desperate attempt to exorcise the ghosts of the past. The shadowy, half heard and sometimes only half-seen action builds to a chilling climax.
CHARACTER DETAILS
• Kipps / Actor: Age - mid 30s to 60s. Initially playing the older Kipps, then a number of characters; this role requires a number of regional accents and physical styles. This is a challenging role for an experienced actor.
• Young Kipps /Actor: Age - 30s to 60s. Initially plays the actor, then the young Kipps. This role requires the ability to play the pretentious Actor and the earnest Kipps who is eventually terrified by his experience. This is also a challenging role for an experienced actor.
• The Woman: Age – 20s. This role is a non-speaking part but crucial to the play. Requiring composure, physical grace, and stage presence. The role uses makeup and costuming to create much of the tension in the play.
