Garrison Players Arts Center is holding auditions for “It Runs In The Family”. A farcical comedy set in a hospital where Dr. Mortimore tries to deliver a lecture while fending off a paternity suit, an ex-wife, a daughter, and other characters, all while navigating the chaos of mistaken identities and running doors.
Auditions are set for Wednesday, July 9th and Thursday, July 10th, from 7 PM to 9 PM. Callbacks (if necessary) will be on Sunday, July 13th from 1 PM to 3 PM.
Garrison Players Arts Center, Corner of Roberts Road and Portland Ave (Rte 4), Rollinsford.
The play takes place in a London hospital. English accents (even if not perfect) are desirable for the characters.

Dr. David Mortimore (45-60)

Note: Ages are approximate and refer only to the age of the characters as they appear on stage. The age ranges are not intended to limit auditions for any particular character. It all depends on the illusion.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Actors will be asked to fill out an audition form with contact information (phone and email). Rehearsals begin week of August 18th.
Show dates: October 17–Nov 1, 2025. For further information please contact Director: Jim Mastro at jim@mastromedia.com
