Open Auditions - ROSIE THE RIVETER

Open Auditions - ROSIE THE RIVETER

Presented by Buck Creek Players at Buck Creek Playhouse

Buck Creek Playhouse will hold open auditions for ROSIE THE RIVETER , by Trey Clarkson, on Monday and Tuesday, December 9 and 10, 2019, at 7 p.m. at the playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Avenue. Director Melissa DeVito is looking for a diverse group of 16 women and 5 men. All roles are available.

It’s January 1942, in the throes of World War II. Eddie, the owner of Eddie’s Auto Parts Factory in Cook County, Illinois, is struggling now that there is a freeze on the manufacturing of car parts. His secretary, Rosie, wonders if the factory can secure a government contract and be converted to make airplane parts instead— if only they can find the manpower. At a time when the radio and the mail were the main sources of information, and ration books were in every household, Rosie is willing to shed tradition, roll up her sleeves and do her part. She is chosen to become the iconic image that will inspire so many women workers to join the cause.
