Audition Notice - Gracie

AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT
We are seeking a performer for our March 2026 production of Gracie by Joan MacLeod directed by Heather Pattengale.

SYNOPSIS
Inspired by real life events, a young girl is born into a complex and secretive world: a polygamous and fundamentalist church community. Graci’s days are full o faith and family but as a teenager, she faces the increasing pressure of religious tradition. Can she confront the uncomfortable reality of what their beliefs require her to sacrifice for the benefit of others? A gripping tender story about growing up and braving the crossing between the familiar and the unknown.
