[Capdist-auditions] Auditions for Buried Child at ACT

[Evan Jones]

Albany Civic Theater announces auditions for
Buried Child by Sam Shepard
directed by Evan Jones
"The setting is a squalid farm home occupied by a family filled with
suppressed violence and an unease born of deep-seated unhappiness. The
characters are a ranting alcoholic grandfather; a sanctimonious grandmother
who goes on drinking bouts with the local minister; and their sons, Tilden,
an All-American footballer now a hulking semi-idiot; and Bradley, who has
lost one leg to a chainsaw. Into their midst comes Vince, a grandson none
of them recognizes or remembers, and his girlfriend, Shelly, who cannot
comprehend the madness to which she is suddenly introduced. The family
harbors a dark secret, creating a cloud of guilt."
Winner of the 1979 Pulitzer Prize!
