Jan Jamison will be hosting auditions for 33 Variations to be produced at Main Street Productions, Inc. of Westfield. Auditions will be conducted December 4-5 at 7:00 PM at the theater. The story revolves around a musicologist recently diagnosed with ALS, her relationship with her daughter, and her male RN. The play is written to compare the life of Beethoven in the years 1819-1827, his illness and hers, and his struggles with writing the 33 variations on Anton Diabelli's waltz theme.
Monday, December 4th - 7 p.m.
Tuesday, December 5th - 7 p.m.

Jan will also be auditioning for a pianist. The pianist plays the Variations throughout the play.
The show will be cast quickly and a read through will be scheduled for the same week. Cast members will be expected to learn lines and have minimal rehearsals through December. The month of January will be rehearsal heavy (for some of the roles). We have a short time frame to put this production together; opening is February 2, 2018. Performances will be February 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17 & 18.
