[Laura G]

Town Players of Pittsfield announces an audition for the lead role in its Spring 2017 fully staged production of "The Whale" by Samuel D. Hunter directed by Jackie DeGiorgis with performances the weekends of March 17 and 24, 2017.
 
Set in rural Idaho, surrounded by computer screens and food containers, Charlie, a 600 lb. recluse is determinedly eating himself to death. Only his estranged daughter, an extremely acerbic and bitter teenager, can make Charlie see any kind of future beyond his current despair. In her, Charlie finds one last chance for redemption, and perhaps even a bit of hope.


Auditions for the role of Charlie will be on Wednesday, October 26, from 6pm – 8pm at the Whitney Center for the Arts, 42 Wendell Avenue, Pittsfield, MA. Men between the ages of 45-65 with a stocky build are encouraged to audition at that time or you may contact the director at jddegiorgis at hotmail.com to arrange for a private audition. No monologues are needed. Sides from the play will be provided.  A fat suit will be built and used to supplement the weight of the actor.


Auditions for the other four roles will be the last week in December and rehearsals will begin in January.
