Casting Call: 'A Man for All Seasons'

Pinnworth Productions of Kelsey Theater will hold auditions for "A Man for All Seasons" later this month.

King Henry VIII wishes to divorce his aging wife so that he can marry his mistress and produce a male heir to the throne, a proposition supported by everyone except the highly devout Sir Thomas More. When Cardinal Wolsey, chancellor of England, names More as his successor, it becomes crucial for Henry to get More's support, but More will not be swayed. Henry demands the clergy to renounce the Pope and to name him head of the Church of England. Based on a true story.
