Seneca Community Players holds open auditions for its newest stage production, "Hearts," a moving drama exploring the hidden scars of veterans, at 7 p.m., June 21 and 22 at SCP headquarters, Cowing St., canalside. Parts are available for up to six men and one woman. Interested individuals should come ready to read. No additional preparation is required; scripts will be provided. Participants should bring a list of potential rehearsal conflict dates.
"Hearts" moves back and forth between the closing days of World War II and infantryman Donald Waldman’s postwar pursuit of the American Dream. He has a wife, a family, a small business and three wise- cracking, card-playing friends who would walk through fire for him. He also has an eating compulsion, chronic insomnia, and bouts of depression that eventually land him on a psychiatric ward. Rather than surrender to the trauma of the past, Donald finds the courage to search back through memory to liberation day at Buchenwald and the tragic secret that has nearly devoured him. From the foxholes of Europe to the frontiers of cyberspace, "Hearts" looks at the invisible wounds of the “Greatest Generation” with humanity and surprising humor.
Written by Willy Holtzman, the play is directed by Walter Wolf and produced by John King.
"Hearts" will be performed Aug. 6-9 in the Delavan Theatre on the New York Chiropractic College campus in Seneca Falls at 7 p.m., 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $10 in advance; $12 at the door. Starting in July, they may be purchased at WomanMade Products in Seneca Falls, Area Records and Music in Geneva, by calling 315-568-9364, and online at www.SenecaCommunityPlayers.org . Contact Wolf at 315-539-8302 for more information.
