The Strand Theater will be holding auditions for
:
Watch, A Haunting by Molly Rice
Auditions are on Sunday, August 17th from 6-8pm at the Strand
Theater
1823 N. Charles Street, Baltimore MD 21201
Watch, A Haunting, centers around a young girl named VI living with her neurotic mother
and elderly grandmother. Never fitting in, VI spends most of her time in her room or supplementing her lack of friends with
food. VI does have a special talent, a talent of seeing people that others cannot. When she befriends a girl that no one else
can see, her mother quickly makes an appointment with a PHD who may be after a Pulitzer, rather than providing any real help.
Is VI crazy? Or is she simply able to “see dead people…?”
Watch is an original play and part of the Strand Theater's
inaugural season. The audition will be composed of cold reads. No prepared monologue is required. The show runs October 16th-
November 2nd (and includes a special Halloween performance, October 31st).
