Elsinore seeks submissions for its next production, Lee Blessing’s A Body of Water. The director is Derek Bertelsen.
About The Show:
Moss and Avis, a middle-aged couple, wake up one morning in an isolated summer house high above a picturesque body of water. The weather’s fine; the view’s magnificent. There’s only one problem – neither of them can remember who they are. When a young woman named Wren arrives, information starts to flood in. But will it help? Her explanations seem only to make Moss and Avis’ world – as well as ours – more terrifying.
Material to Prepare:
For consideration, please send a headshot & resume to info@elsinoreensemble.com. Sides & the full script will be sent with audition appointment time. Please include all known conflicts for the production period in your submission.
Time Commitment:
Rehearsals begin the week of September 14, with a commitment of three evenings a week and possibly one weekend day. Performances will take place in Studio 44 at the Greenhouse Theater Center (2257 N. Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IL ). A Body of Water runs November 5 – November 22. Preview on Thursday, November 5, with press opening on Friday, November 6. Performances run Thursday – Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2:30 PM.
Character Type/Restrictions:
Wren – Presents as mid-late twenties. Razor-sharp mind, lacerating wit, a runner. She may be Moss and Avis’s daughter. (Or she may not be.) She may be their lawyer. (Or she may not be.) Whoever she is, Wren is a rock in constantly shifting waters. The role includes a moment of unarmed stage combat; a certified fight director will be on the production team to ensure the violence is staged & learnt safely.
