Backlot to hold
auditions for ‘Angel Street’
The Backlot Players will hold auditions for
“Angel Street (Gaslight)” Dec. 1 and 2 at 7
p.m. at the Rose Theater. Two women, two
men and two extras are needed.
A Broadway hit first produced in London
under the title "Gaslight" and filmed twice,
"Angel Street" tells the story of the
Manninghams who live on Angel Street in
the 19th century. It is soon apparent that
Mr. Manningham, a suavely sinister and
handsome man, is slowly torturing his gen
tle, devoted wife, Bella, into insanity under
the guise of kindness. The author builds up
some of the most brilliant suspense in the
modern theater. The secret of the dimming
gaslight and the mystery of the hidden
rubies will captivate all.
Show dates are Feb. 12 - 21, 2009.
