Auditions: Morning After Grace
Raleigh Little Theatre is seeking performers for its upcoming production of Morning After Grace, by Carey Crim. This show will be presented in the Gaddy-Goodwin Teaching Theatre.
About the show
Hilarious and heart-warming, this unconventional new comedy tackles love, loss, and coming to terms with growing old. After hooking up at a funeral, Angus and Abigail find themselves waking up the next morning on Angus’ sofa. Enter neighbor Ollie, a former baseball player who now enjoys golf and yoga. Nothing is as it seems with this trio, and every disclosure reveals a new perspective. Set in a Florida retirement community, this charming and big-hearted comedy takes us on an unexpected journey toward a new lease on life.
Morning After Grace is produced by special arrangement with Mark Orsini, Bret Adams, Ltd., 448 West 44th Street, New York, NY 10036. www.bretadamsltd.net
