Mill City Announces Additional Auditions for “Dolly West’s Kitchen”
Posted by Gail M. Burns - March 2010
*We’re holding another round of auditions for Dolly West’s Kitchen. Please help spread the word. We are specifically looking for more men, but women are also welcome to audition! Hope to see you there! Please see the press release below for more information.*
Mill City Productions will be holding an additional audition for its upcoming production of “Dolly West’s Kitchen” by Irish playwright Frank McGuinness on Wednesday, March 10th at 7pm. Auditions will be held at their theatre in Building 4 (next to the Visitors’ Center) of the Western Gateway Heritage State Park in North Adams.
Set in Buncrana, County Donegal, Ireland, during World War II, “Dolly West’s Kitchen” is centered on a family struggling to come to terms not only with the effects of war on their country and their family, but also with their own inability to respond to one another. As the characters talk of love, war, the English and the Yanks, “Dolly West’s Kitchen” becomes a deeply moving evocation of the fantasy and the reality that was Ireland in the 1940s.
Adults of all experience levels are invited to audition. 4 women and 5 men are needed. Roles for women range from late teens to mid-thirties, with one role for a woman in her fifties/sixties. Roles for men range from early twenties to early forties. Auditioners will be asked to read scenes from the play; no prepared monologues are necessary. “Dolly West’s Kitchen” will be directed by Kari Daly. Rehearsals will be March – April, with performances during the first & second weekends in May.
Mill City Productions is a non-profit, community-based, multigenerational collaborative focused on creating an outlet for expression and education for theatrical veterans and novices alike.
