[Capdist-auditions] Auditions - Glass Menagerie

[Janet Kimlicko]

*NorthEast Theatre Ensemble *will be holding auditions for it's fall
production of* “The Glass Menagerie”*

for the roles of:

*Tom Wingfield* 20s-40s
Amanda's son, and younger brother to sister, Laura. Tom works at a shoe
warehouse to support his family but is frustrated by his job and aspires to
be a poet. He struggles to write for he is sleep-deprived and annoyed. Yet,
he escapes from reality through nightly excursions, apparently to the
movies but also to local bars. Tom feels both obligated toward yet burdened
by his family and longs to escape.
 *Jim O’Connor * 20s - 30s An old high-school acquaintance of Tom and
Laura. Jim was a popular athlete and actor during his days at Soldan High
School
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldan_International_Studies_High_School>.
Subsequent years have been less kind to Jim, however, and by the time of
the play's action he is working as a shipping clerk at the same shoe
warehouse as Tom. His hope to shine again is conveyed by his study of
public speaking and ideas of self-improvement that appear related to those
of Dale Carnegie <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Carnegie>.
