Auditions for “True West”
6:00 PM
O'Shaughnessy Center
Description:
The Whitefish Theatre Co. is holding auditions for the 2015-16 season-opening theatre production

of “True West” on May 31st and June 1st at 6:00 p.m. at the O'Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.

Please arrive early to the Green Room to fill out an audition application and review the script.

Well-educated Austin and thieving con man Lee, estranged brothers from different worlds, reunite

in their mom's California kitchen, where Austin is working out a screenplay deal. But when pushy

Lee interjects his own movie idea to a visiting Hollywood producer, the brothers find themselves

forced to cooperate in the creation of a story that will make or break both their lives. Tensions rise

as the roles of successful family man and nomadic drifter are somehow reversed and the siblings

find that they might not be such opposites after all. “True West”, a dynamic play by iconic actor-

writer Sam Shepard, is “clear, funny, naturalistic. It's also opaque, terrifying, surrealistic. If that

sounds contradictory, you're on to one aspect of Shepard's winning genius.” – San Francisco

Chronicle

The cast will be composed of three men, ages late 20s to late 50s, and one woman, age 50s to late

60s. No experience is necessary and no preparation is required for the audition.

Total time commitment for this production is six to eight weeks of rehearsal Monday through

Friday. There are seven performances over two weekends on October 8-11 and 15-17.

For more information, call the Whitefish Theatre Company at 862-5371.
