Becca and Howie Corbett have a picture-perfect family life in the suburbs of New York until a random, tragic accident takes the life of their four-year old son. Soon after, Becca’s irresponsible younger sister, Izzy, announces that she is pregnant: there will now be a new child in the family. As Becca and Howie grow apart; and Becca’s mother, Nat, badgers Becca about her grieving process; and Jason, the young driver who killed their son, continually shows up to ask forgiveness; the group is on a bumpy road to healing with no road map in sight. "Rabbit Hole" delves into the complexity of a family navigating deep grief, and learning what it means to live a fruitful life when things fall apart.Edison Valley Playhouse will hold auditions for the Pulitzer-winning "Rabbit Hole," by David Lindsay-Abaire, 5-8 p.m. March 20. Auditionees should be prepared to read from sides.
| Becca | A grieving mother. Tough and uncompromising, she cannot tolerate insincerity or impracticality. This role has already been cast. |
| Howie (30s-40s) | Becca's husband, a patient man who specializes in pretending everything is fine. |
| Izzy (early 30s) | Becca's irresponsible but well-wishing sister. Pregnant the entire show. A perennial party girl who never grew up; still trying to find herself. |
| Nat | Becca and Izzy's mother, an opinionated alcoholic with a knack for sticking her foot in her mouth. This role has already been cast. |
| Jason Willette (17) | An awkward and nerdy teen who accidentally killed Becca and Howie's son when the little boy ran in front of his car. A pivotal character. |
The show will open May 20 and run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through June 4, with a 2 p.m. matinee May 29.
