Its a story that has a shades of a Citizen Kane/Rashomon feel to it. Three sisters mourn the loss of their mother--each with distinctly different memories that seem to be in conflict. Kind of an interesting domestic drama. This coming May, Soulstice Theatre stages the drama--Shelagh Stephenson's The Memory of Water. It will be directed by David Ferrie--a talented and seasoned actor in his own right.
Soulstice is looking to cast the show next month.
Auditions take place on January 14th and 15th with callbacks on the 16th.
The show runs May 3rd - 18th.
