Audition for Young Equity Performers in 'The Weir'

Project Overview

Now accepting equity auditions from young performers for the play 'The Weir'. Please note that only local talent will be considered.

About the Project

SYNOPSIS: On a stormy night in a rural Irish pub, four local men gather. Their usual exchange of rounds and conversation is disrupted by the arrival of a Dublin woman. As they jockey to impress and welcome her, gripping, haunting, and disquieting stories emerge. Then, they discover she has her own story to tell. 'The Weir' is a testament to the need for human connection, the possibility of hope, and the enduring power of storytelling.
