<br><div>Confetti Stage is excited to announce auditions for “Stage Kiss” by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Sean T. Baldwin, assisted by Marissa Lounello.</div><div><br></div><div>Art and life imitate one another, and the line between the two occasionally grows thin. What happens when a married actress finds herself cast opposite an ex boyfriend as romantic leads in a long forgotten, badly written melodrama? Staged intimacy reignites the spark between them, and she suddenly finds herself torn between her husband and her great lost love. “Stage Kiss” is a comic love letter to theatre people and the strange things we do for our art.</div><div><br></div><div>We are looking for actors to fill the following roles: </div><div><br></div><div>She – A woman in her late 30’s to early 40’s.

Plays the butler and the doctor in the play within the play.</div><div><br></div><div>Harry – She’s husband. A levelheaded banker who’s accustomed to and annoyed by his wife’s indiscretions. Always the voice of reason.</div><div><br></div><div>Laurie – He’s girlfriend. A caring teacher who is hurt by He’s affair. The “mom friend” who needs to take care of everyone.
