Dear Jack, Dear Louise - Auditions

U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the joyous, heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship during World War II and the results are anything but expected.

Roles:

Jack—late 20’s or early 30’s; introverted, formal, detail-oriented, reserved; prefers to focus on his medical duties rather than his own feelings; this begins change as he writes to Louise over the years

Louise—late 20’s; extroverted, bold, silly at times; funny, courageous, persistent, full of energy; as the war heats up we see her vulnerability and anxiety grow

Rehearsals: weeknight evenings to be determined; please come to auditions with a list of any conflicts 

BDACT performance:  Sat., January 16

WACTFest weekend:  January 29-31 in Beaver Dam

Must also be available if we advance to regionals (March or April in Illinois) and nationals (June 15-19 in Rochester, MN).
