OSWEGO, NY – Open auditions for the upcoming Oswego Players’ production of “Way Down East” will be held on March 13 and 14 from 7 -9 p.m. in the Frances Marion Brown Theater in the Oswego Civic Arts Center.

The play is being directed by Rick Sivers.

Set in New England in the 1890s, “Way Down East” was considered the most popular melodrama of the period.

Telling the story of Anna Moore, who arrives at the home of Squire Bartlett with a secret past, the play unfolds in scenes of conflict, love and comic relief.

There are parts for 12 persons, eight men and four women.

Six of the roles are for men and women in their twenties, while the other roles are for men and women around sixty years of age.

The Players’ production will incorporate scenic drops from the period when the play was originally produced as well as special effects involving a final climactic snow storm.

Anyone interested in acting or working back stage is invited to come to the auditions at the theater.
