ASHBURN, VA Auditions for "Hate Mail" Written by Kira Obolensky and Bill Corbett Produced by Jerri Wiseman Directed by Liz Mykietyn
Hate Mail is an epistolary play something like Love Letters, with two actors reading letters and other correspondence, but it’s a little wilder and more hysterically funny. It tells the story of Preston, a spoiled rich kid who meets his match in Dahlia, an angst-filled artist. Their worlds collide when Preston sends a complaint letter that gets Dahlia fired from her job, and then there’s no turning back. The play stays with their increasingly crazed correspondence as they move from hate to love, and then right back again. Comedy 80-95 minutes long with Adult language and content.
AUDITION July 28 from 1:00 – 3:00pm. Preference to those who reserve a time through Sign-Up Genius. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d49adac2cabf94-hate Walk-ins will be seen as schedule permits. Audition and performance location is at 20937 Ashburn Road, Suites 115 and 120, Ashburn, VA 20147.
