Gallery Theater Announces Audition Dates for “The Fantasticks”
Gallery Theater of West Chicago announces auditions for its May production of The Fantasticks, the world’s longest running musical, on Monday, March 17 and Tuesday, March 18, 2014 from 7:00 - 8:15 p.m. at Gallery 200/STUDIO, 203 Turner Court, West Chicago.
The Fanstasticks is the story of neighboring fathers who trick their children, Luisa and Matt, into falling in love by pretending to feud. The fathers hire traveling actors to stage a mock abduction, so that Matt can heroically seem to save Luisa, ending the supposed feud. When the children discover the deception, they reject the arranged love match and separate. Each then has a disillusioning experience in the real world, seen in parallel fantasy sequences. They return to each other bruised but enlightened, and renew their vows with more maturity.
