Eloisa (Oisie) is finally ready to leave a lifeless career to pursue a long-delayed dream when her sister Lauren is diagnosed with breast cancer.  Lauren’s perfect life and Oisie’s second chance collide as the sisters grab hands and embark on a roller-coaster ride of treatment, ambition, loss, and acceptance.  Myriad other characters are played in quick, and often comic, succession by two other actors.  As funny as it is heart-breaking, This play is a fast-paced journey dedicated to the fierce love of two sisters.

Oisie and Lauren’s love for one another transforms and ultimately deepens through the fight for  Lauren’s survival and Oisie’s dream.  Poetic scenes are punctuated with naturalistic beats as the journey pulls Oisie into the past that forged their unique bond.  The play unfolds as a life-affirming fugue even in Lauren’s ultimate death and Oisie’s bittersweet emergence.  The life force wins.

We require a professional Headshot and Resume.           Experience has taught us to check resume credits and contacts carefully. 

Note:  I know it's easy to zap electronic h/r's to us but please do bring hardcopy to your audition.  We really do physically shuffle them around and see how groups look together.
 

Please bring a 2 minute prepared monologue,  and be prepared to read cold, improv, and play at the Venus Theatre Play Shack.

Venus Theatre is a professional theatre company.  We appreciate potential at every level.  The talented people that take our stage have already been trained and qualified to do the work professionally.

Venus IS NOT a community theatre.  Our neighbors at Laurel Mill Playhouse just up the street are WONDERFUL! 

If you have had no formal training but have tons of experience I'd love to meet you as well.

For those of you trying out theatre for the first time, I'd love to offer you a workshop, please stay in touch!

Venus pays actors a $300 stipend. 

 If you'd like to fund a project or actor or anything at all... please remember that Venus is a 501c3 nonprofit tax-deductible organization.  We'd love help with this beautiful FLIGHT!
