[If you wish to audition for this production, you will need to complete the online audition form. A link is provided at the bottom of this description]Andy Dufresne is sent to Shawshank Prison for the murder of his wife and her secret lover.
He is very isolated and lonely at first, but realizes there is something deep inside your body that people can't touch or get to - 'HOPE.'
Andy becomes friends with prison 'fixer' Red, and Andy epitomizes why it is crucial to have dreams. His spirit and determination lead us into a world full of imagination, one filled with courage and desire.
Will Andy ever realize his dreams?
Based on Stephen King’s 1982 novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, this thrilling stage production examines desperation, injustice, friendship and hope behind the claustrophobic bars of a maximum security facility. The 1994 feature film starred Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman and was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
