Auditions will be held on Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 11am at Upright Theatre Company’s studio space in Euless, TX. Callbacks (if needed) will be on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 7pm. To audition, artists are asked to fill out an online audition form and make an appointment using the link provided below.

Artists should bring their headshot and resume, along with a conflict calendar that can be found at the bottom of this page.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
They say “true love never dies” and for one fussy, cantankerous novelist that is certainly true! A spiritualist medium holds a séance for English novelist, Charles Condomine, but accidentally summons the spirit of his deceased first wife, which leads to an increasingly complex love triangle with his current wife of five years. This smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages is a much-revived classic.
ROLES AVAILABLE:
(All ethnicities. English accent required.)
EDITH - a maid, always in a hurry, age 18+
RUTH - Charles’ current wife. She is a smart-looking woman age 30s-40s.
CHARLES – an English novelist. Husband to Ruth and, before her passing, to Elvira, age 30s-40s
DR. BRADMAN – a doctor and friend of the Condomimes, age 30s-50s
MRS. BRADMAN – wife of Dr. Bradman and friend of the Condomimes, age 30s-50s
MADAME ARCATI - a medium. A striking and eccentric woman, age 40s-60s.
ELVIRA - Charles' late wife who returns as a ghost, glamorous and fun-loving, age 30s-40s
