Open Auditions for The Immigrant
March 8 & 9, 7-9 p.m.

Open auditions for Gallery Players' spring drama, The Immigrant, will be held in the Roth-Resler Theater at the JCC of Greater Columbus, 1125 College Ave., Columbus, on Monday, March 8, and Tuesday, March 9, from 7 to 9 p.m.

The cast is comprised of two male and female couples. Those auditioning should be comfortable playing roles of those aged 20s-30s or 30s-40s, and have a sense of which role they would be interested in portraying. Monologues are not necessary, as readings from the script will be used for auditions.

Copies of the script may be obtained in advance by contacting JCC Cultural Arts Director Jared Saltman at (614) 559-6248.

The production will be directed by Lil Strouss, and will run for eight performances -
Saturdays, May 1, 8, 15 @ 8 p.m.
Sundays, May 2, 9, 16 @ 2:30 p.m.
Thursdays, May 6, 13 @ 7:30 p.m.

Written by Mark Harelik, The Immigrant is a heartfelt, funny, lovable play which brings a fresh slant on the age-old story of immigration and assimilation. It is a charming biographical tale of the author's grandfather, a Russian Jew, who arrived in the Port of Galveston, Tex., at the turn of the century. The play spans 30 years of the family's growth and contributions to the town of Hamilton, Tex.

This production will be held in conjunction with a seven-week exhibition at the JCC next April entitled 170 Years of Jewish Life in Columbus, 1840-2010, presented in partnership with the Columbus Jewish Historical Society.

Please call (614) 559-6248 with any questions.
