Fire Exit Theatre is seeking actors for its March production of Fresh Hell, written by Conni Massing and directed by Jeany Van Meltebeke Snider.

Synopsis

An unlikely encounter between Joan of Arc and American writer Dorothy Parker—one a renowned warrior saint, the other a suicidal brilliant writer.

Grappling with their own mortality, these two wrangle about the nature of faith, calling, and the meaning of life, proving themselves unlikely angels in the purgatory of doubt.

We Will Be Auditioning For The Following Roles

• Joan: A young, ambitious French woman with a zeal for God. Sensitive to truth, assertive, smart and courageous. Often speaks French.
• Dorothy: A cynical, middle-aged 20th century writer. Skeptical, witty, sardonic and prone to
  alcohol and despair.
