Auditions for The Heidi Chronicles are being held November 20th and 21st in the studio at the Old Town Playhouse at 7pm. We are looking for 3 men and 5 women. Some of those cast will play multiple roles. The age range is from late teens to early fifties.  

The playwright, Wendy Wasserstein, died of lymphoma on January 30th, 2006. She was 55 years old.

In 1989, she won both the Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for The Heidi Chronicles. Her wry, smart, and often highly comical plays, explore topics ranging from feminism to family to ethnicity to pop culture. The New York Times described Wasserstein as a "chronicler of women's identity crises." "Her heroines -- intelligent and successful but also riddled with self-doubt -- sought enduring love a little ambivalently, but they did not always find it, and their hard-earned sense of self-worth was often shadowed by the frustrating knowledge that American women's lives continued to be measured by their success at capturing the right man" Although appreciative of the critical acclaim for her comedic streak, she described her work as "a political act," wherein sassy dialogue and farcical situations mask deep, resonant truths about intelligent, independent women living in a world still ingrained with traditional roles and expectations.

We invite you to come and be a part of this hilarious examination of women and the “women’s movement.”
