Williams Lake Studio Theatre is gearing up to celebrate its 60th season with two short plays written by Gwen Ringwood, the theatre’s founder.
Still Stands the House is from early in her career and is the story of a family coming apart.
Garage Sale is a later play about an older couple finding themselves.
Cathie Hamm will be directing Still Stands the House while Sylvia Swift will direct Garage Sale. Producer is Mary-Jo Hilyer.
Proof Auditions
The Williams Lake Studio Theatre Society is holding auditions for the upcoming play Proof by David Auburn.
The play requires two men, ages 25 to 35 and 50 plus, and two women ages 25 to 35.
No acting experience is necessary.
Auditions will take place Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. and Feb 18 at 7 p.m. at the Studio Theatre.
The storyline follows Catherine, who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: there’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind.
And a further problem: how much of her father’s madness or genius will Catherine inherit?
Gwyneth Paltrow starred in this Pultizer Prize-winning play which opened at the Donmar Warehouse in 2001.
Proof will be directed by Sheryl-Lynn Lewis and produced by Rae Perry.
