Auditions for Gidion’s Knot at Laurel Mill Playhouse, Apr 6 & 7

Laurel Mill Playhouse announces auditions for:
Gidion’s Knot
By Johnna Adams
Directed by Rachel Kilgallon and Larry Simmons
Produced by Maureen Rogers

Thursday, April 6, 2023 at 7pm
Friday, April 7, 2023 at 3pm

Performances: July 14 – 16, 2023

Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse

In search of two female actresses. Callbacks (if needed) will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2023. Bring a headshot, resume and list of conflicts through July 16.

Over the course of a 90-minute parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother’s son, the teacher’s student, Gidion. Gidion may have been bullied severely– or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion’s act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability.

Ticket prices: $20 general, $15 students/military/seniors

LMP strongly urges that all patrons that come to LMP be vaccinated and wear masks. At this time, we will not require vaccination cards and masks in LMP but reserve the right to change the guidelines should the positivity rate rise significantly.

How far would a man go to protect his family, his interests, and his legacy? Joe Keller, the patriarch in All My Sons, desperately wants to secure and maintain the financial security and legacy he spent so many years building, ready to hand it down to his surviving son Chris. At the same time, Joe’s wife Kate is still waiting for their eldest son Larry to return from war, determined that he is alive and will marry the former girl-next-door, Ann –the daughter of Joe’s former business partner who is sitting in prison, punished for Joe’s crimes. To complicate this family drama, Chris and Ann are in love and want to get married. In All My Sons, Arthur Miller creates a post-war American family in a tragic downfall of lies, greed, love, and loss, and demands its audience examine their own social responsibilities to all the sons of American wars.

General Admission – $22.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $17.00.

When Aliens Fall from the Sky–Work-in-Progress Reading
Friday, March 31, 2023 . 7PM

When Aliens Fall from the Sky is the long-awaited return to the stage of Tony Award winning poet and performance artist Lemon Andersen.

He spits searing, insightful rhymes about the communities that are the bone marrow of our nation. A one-man show influenced by the autobiographical monologues of Spalding Gray, When Aliens Fall from the Sky is a rally cry for the melting pot of Latinidad to speak and act on the identity crisis in America and join in a collective path forward. Brown fisted, black skinned.

Created, Written and Performed by Lemon Andersen
Directed & Developed by Elise Thoron
Sound Design by Germán Martínez, with additional music by DJ Mode
