Audition Notice for Making God Laugh
ETG is auditioning for Making God Laugh by Sean Grennan
On Tuesday October 18th and Thursday October 20th
Auditions will be open at 6:30 pm at 40 Princess Ave.
Director: Cailyn Arnot
Show dates: February 23-26 and March 2-5, 2023
Synopsis: Making God Laugh follows one typical American family over the course of thirty years' worth of holidays. Starting in 1980, Ruthie and Bill's grown children -- a priest, an aspiring actress, and a former football star -- all return home, where we learn of their plans and dreams as they embark on their adult lives. The empty-nester parents contend with their own changes, too, as old family rituals are trotted out and ancient tensions flare up. As time passes, the family discovers that, despite what we may have in mind, we often arrive at unexpected destinations.
As Woody Allen once said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans..."
Roles:
Ruthie (f) – 40s-50s Mom
Bill (m) – 40s-50s Dad
