In a few weeks, Westfield Community Players will hold auditions for "Veronica's Room," a chilling mystery thriller by Ira Levin, author of "Rosemary's Baby" that explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, madness, and murder.
Students Susan and Larry find themselves as guests, enticed to the Brabissant mansion by its dissolute caretakers, the lonely Mackeys. Struck by Susan's strong resemblance to Veronica Brabissant, the long-dead daughter of the family for whom they work, the Mackeys persuade her to briefly impersonate Veronica to solace the only living Brabissant, her addled sister who believes Veronica alive. Once dressed in Veronica's clothes, Susan finds herself locked in the role and locked in Veronica's room. Or is she Veronica, in 1935, pretending to be an imaginary Susan?
There are four characters: "The woman," aged 35-60; "the man," aged 35-55; "the girl," aged 20-36; and "the young man," aged 22-29.
Auditions will occur from 6-9 p.m. January 17 and 7-10 p.m. January 19.
Performances will be at 8 p.m. May 7, 13, 14 and 21 and at 2 p.m. May 22.
Auditionees are asked to submit an audition form in advance. The online form may be found here.
