Centenary Stage plans auditions

HACKETTSTOWN — Centenary Stage Company a not-for-profit professional Equity Theater located in Hackettstown, will hold an open Equity Principle Auditions on Monday, Dec. 7, for the upcoming production of Gina Gionfriddo’s BECKY SHAW.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist and off-broadway smash hit, Becky Shaw, mixes sharp wit and humor with taut suspense of a psychological thriller. A blind date sets into motion a series of cataclysmic events and a comedy of romantic errors unfolds that keeps audiences at the edge of their seats guessing what will happen next.
