AUDITIONS!
San Leandro Players is excited to announce auditions for our Fall 2026 production of "The Uninvited" by Tim Kelly; directed by Daniel Dickinson.
Brother and sister Roderick and Pamela Fitzgerald flee their busy London lives for the beautiful but stormy Devon coastline. They are drawn to the suspiciously inexpensive house, Cliff End, feared amongst locals as a haunted place of ill omen. Gradually, the Fitzgeralds learn of the mysterious deaths of Mary Meredith and another strange young woman. Together, they must unravel the mystery of Cliff End's uncanny past -- and keep the troubled young Stella, who was raised in the house as a baby, from returning to the nursery where something waits to tuck her in at night...
