The Town Players of New Canaan is hosting open auditions for The Effect by Lucy Prebble winner of 2012 Critics’ Circle Theatre Award for Best New Play.
The Effect centers on two volunteers, Tristan and Connie, who fall in love during a clinical trial for a dopamine-based antidepressant. Their romance disrupts the trial, leaving their doctors, Dr. James and Dr. Toby, to grapple with ethical questions about their work. The play explores questions about sanity, love, and the limits of medicine.
Auditions at the Carriage Barn Arts Center in Waveny Park on July 22nd & 23rd from 7-9pm. All roles available. Please prepare a short monologue in any style; it does not need to be memorized.
Dr. Lorna James, Female 40+
Dr. Toby Sealey, Male 40+
Connie Hall, Female 20+
Tristan Frey, Male 20+
The Effect performance dates: September 4 – 14
