When does a first kiss transform your life?

When it is the first drop in a thunderstorm that leaves you questioning who you love, why you love, how you love.
When it's the culmination of tentative steps and bold strides toward self-understanding.
Maybe a first kiss always has the power to transform you life - sometimes in ways so small you can't even see them.
Diana Son's  STOP KISS is a story of identity, acceptance, friendship, inner peace, and love in extraordinarily normal circumstances. But it is, most of all, the story of two good people and the good people surrounding them, as they finally learn to connect.

auditions: equus

By Peter Schaffer

Auditions will be held Wednesday, June 6th between 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm at The Shadowbox Theatre (103B - 1501 Howard Ave., corner of Howard and Shepherd)

Performance dates: Sept. 28 - 29; Oct. 4 - 6 & 11 - 13, 2018 at The Shadowbox Theatre

One of the most challenging, provocative, and unsettling plays of the 20th century, Equus is the story of Alan, a young man who has a pathological, religious and sexual fixation on horses, and Dysart, the psychiatrist attempting to treat him after Alan is caught enacting violent fantasies. The play moves back and forth through time as Dysart attempts to reach this apparently unreachable teen.

Equus presents exciting challenges for all cast members, most of whom will play multiple roles. Experience, persistence, and courage are definite assets for anyone auditioning!

PLEASE NOTE: The roles of Alan Strang and Martin Dysart have been pre-cast

ROLES UP FOR AUDITION INCLUDE:

FRANK STRANG (principal, male, 40-55) - Alan's father, a stern and practical atheist with a hot temper.

DORA STRANG (principal, female, 40-55) - Alan's mother, a sweet person and devout Christian who kept a lot of secrets from Alan's father while raising him.

​JILL MASON (principal, female, 19-25) - A stable worker fascinated by Alan, who is equally fascinated by her. Kind, carefree, with few hang-ups. NOTE: The role of Jill requires some brief, tasteful nudity

HESTHER SALOMON (supporting, female, 30-50) - Dysart's close friend, a. official who arranges for Alan to receive psychiatric treatment instead of prison.

HARRY DALTON (supporting, male, 40-60) - The owner of the stables where Jill and Alan work.
