Auditions for the dark and moody production of Gaslight. Directed by Marisa Clark, this play led to the use of the word "gaslighting". From the Director: These descriptions come directly from the original play. Please audition regardless of whether you feel you fit a specific role. I look forward to seeing you at auditions and cannot wait to see what YOU can bring to this production, above and beyond these basic descriptions. Description of Characters Mr. Manningham - He is tall, good-looking, about forty-five. He is heavily moustached and bearded and perhaps a little too well-dressed. His manner is suave and authoritative, with a touch of mystery and bitterness. Mrs. Manningham - She is about thirty-four. She has been good-looking, almost a beauty - but now she has a haggard, wan, frightened air, with rings under her eyes, which tell of sleepless nights and worse. Elizabeth - She is a stout, amiable, subservient woman of fifty. Nancy - She is a self-conscious, pretty, cheeky girl of nineteen. Rough - He is middle-aged - greying, short, wiry, active, brusque, friendly, overbearing. He has a low, warm chuckle and completely dominates the scene from the beginning. Performances will be January 12, 13, 14 & 19, 20, 21, 2024.
