Auditions for Misery, the first show of Bucyrus Little Theatre's 2023-24 season, will take place Sunday, July 30 at 7 p.m. at the Bucyrus Little Theatre, located at 130 Songer Ave., Bucyrus, Ohio 44820.
Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his "number one fan," Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie forces him to write a new Misery Chastain novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it ... and it does.
Scott Painter will direct this thrilling show. Performance dates are October 7, 8, 14, and 15, 2023. This is an adult-themed play based on the psychological thriller novel of the same name written by Stephen King. The play is written by William Goldman and is produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
The cast consists of three actors:
Annie Wilkes - a female fan of author Paul Sheldon. She is, at times, obsessive, angry, and even homicidal.
Paul Sheldon - a middle-aged man. He has been a very successful author but would like to take a turn at more serious writing.
The Sheriff - a mature law enforcement officer who has pretty much "seen it all."
If you are interested in auditioning and would like access to a perusal script, they will be available beginning Sunday, July 16 for five days. Arrangements can be made to pick up a copy by texting Painter at 419.689.1789 or emailing spainter@columbus.rr.com.
