MissCast Productions is excited to announce open call auditions for The Visitors, by local playwright Shaun Gant. This production will be directed by Maisie Gospodarek.
Frustrated writer and radio announcer, Opal, just wanted to spend a few days relaxing with her partner at the family cabin. But, it’s August in Montana, and heavy forest fires have sequestered the pair indoors. Smoke descends upon the small cabin, bringing with it an eclectic assortment of uninvited guests - each one intent on wearing out their welcome!
