WTC holds auditions for 'Kettlehouse'

The Whitefish Theatre Co. is holding auditions for the 2018-2019 season opening production of “Kettlehouse” on May 7 at 6 p.m. at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.

Arrive early to fill out an audition application and review the script. Enter at the north side of the building near the new conference room.

WTC’s production of “Kettlehouse” is the developmental premiere of this new play by award-winning playwright Robert Caisley. The play follows Miles Kettlehouse, whose parents were happily married on June 4, 1982 and happily divorced a day shy of their first wedding anniversary. The hitch? After the divorce, Miles’ Dad never moved out and neither did her Mom. For the past 34 years, they have been loathing each other under the same roof, refusing to talk, even refusing to be on the same cell phone plan. Miles’ life has been reduced to being the goodwill ambassador, UN peacekeeper and back-channel negotiator for her emotionally stunted parents, cramping both her home and love life. “Kettlehouse” is an outrageous comedy of errors about love, dysfunctional families, nosebleeds and the art of Feng Shui.

The cast will be composed of two men and two women. One male and one female actor should be ages 20s to 30s and one male and one female actor should be ages 50s to 70s. No experience or preparation is necessary to audition. Pages from the script will be provided.

Jere Hodgin is the director for this production. Rehearsals begin in early September and will be held on weeknight evenings between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. There are seven performances over two weekends on Oct. 18-21 and 25-27.
