WTC holds auditions for 'Now and Then'

The Whitefish Theatre Company is holding auditions for their production of “Now and Then” on Aug. 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.

Please arrive early to fill out an audition application, fill out a waiver form, and review the script. Please enter at the north side of the building near WTC’s parking lot and conference room.

Sometimes what happens after last call just might change your life. One night in 1981, just as Jamie is closing the bar where he works, a desperate last-minute customer offers him and his girlfriend Abby two thousand dollars to sit and have a drink with him. Who wouldn't take it? As the trio swaps stories and Jamie considers the decisions he faces about his musical career and his future with Abby, the young couple begins to realize that this older man is unusually invested in their choices... and the reason he gives them is completely unbelievable. But when a very displeased second stranger arrives, the unbelievable begins to look like it just might be true. “Now and Then” is a heartfelt romantic comedy about the costs of the choices we make, and the people who make them with us.

The cast will be composed of one man and one woman, ages 20 to 30s, and one man and one woman, ages 50s and up. Pages from the script will be provided at the audition. If you would like to familiarize yourself with the script, it is available at valley public libraries.

Nick Rapp is the director for this production. Rehearsals begin the week of Sept. 7 and will be held Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9-10 p.m. There are seven performances over two weekends on Oct. 14-17 and 21–23.
