AUDITIONS FOR THE ROLE OF TOM MUNSON FOR "VILLAINY IN THE VINEYARD!"
Looking for an actor (male; 20's - 30's) for the roll of Tom Munson, the hero in the old-fashioned musical melodrama, Villainy in the Vineyard. Please see the audition information below and email questions/interest to Karen Barbera at karenbarbera@sbcglobal.net.
THE ROLE:
THE HERO – TOM MUNSON (20s - 30s) – Horticulturist and grape breeder. Childhood sweetheart of Kaye who moved to Texas with his family years ago. Now back to San Leandro on the stagecoach hoping to help solve the grape blight.
Show Synopsis:
“This is the story of Kaye Syrah trying so hard to keep the family vineyard alive after her family goes missing. It is the story of a ruthless land speculator willing to do just about anything to build his empire and along the journey discovers the stagecoach line and vineyards of old San Leandro. It is the story of dreamers and schemers, heroes and villains, but mostly about family. Learn the fate of the once-great East Bay Vineyards in this long-forgotten seldom-told, mostly-true tale about one man that kept wine alive not just for California, but for the whole planet. A family-friendly musical play that’s a lot of fun.”
