Flux is thrilled to be producing Kristen Palmer’s Once Upon A Bride There Was A Forest in December 2014, directed by Heather Cohn. Auditions will be held Friday, June 13th (1-6pm) with callbacks on Saturday, June 14th (11-4pm). Three of the roles will be filled by Flux Creative Partners, leaving three roles for which we’ll be auditioning:

Available Roles:

EVERETT WRIGHT- age: 40-60. A well-meaning dad. Dotes on his 20-year old daughter, Belle. Charismatic and kind, but has a tendency to get confused or lose his train of thought sometimes. Has secrets so long in the past, even he’s forgotten them.

EUGENIA WRIGHT – age: 40-60. Everett’s wife and Belle’s mother. Ruler of the household. Strict, but not without reason. Willing to go to any length to protect her family, even if that means violence. Impatient. Struggling with having a new baby around the house.

MAN – any age, but has an old soul. He’s the Wrights’ butler of sorts, though he does much more. Enigmatic, wise and very patient. Sincere. Knows what’s right, but has to gather the courage to pursue it.

Synopsis: After Warren proposes to Josie, she decides she must make one last attempt to find her long-lost father before she walks down the aisle. What she finds instead is a dangerous, seductive world of secrets and magic from which she may not want to escape. Once Upon a Bride There Was a Forest is a lyrical, haunting and surprisingly funny fairy tale about children and parents, forgetting and remembering, and the power of a good story to capture us or set us free.
