100 Percent Human Theatre (formerly Front Porch Theatre) is holding video auditions for the role of SAMMY in “The Tin Woman” by Sean Grennan. All other roles have been cast.
Directed by Joy Donley
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
SAMMY, late 20s/early 30s, female, a preschool teacher who is somewhat “new age-y,” with an enormous heart. She is the source of humor in the show, but she’s also very sincere and pretty much right about everything. Wants to help in any way she can. She writes a blog where she might over-share her life, much to her father’s consternation. She can give in too easily to her emotions, but of everyone, she is the most in touch with them. The challenge is to play both the largish humor and the more dramatic sections and have them both be the truth and both live in the same character.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
The Tin Woman is a comedy/drama about a young woman who receives a heart transplant. Instead of relishing life after her surgery, Joy enters a downward spiral. Meanwhile, Alice and Hank mourn the loss of their son, Jack, whose heart was used to save Joy. At a friend’s urging, Joy tracks down Jack’s family to find closure and a tempestuous meeting ensues, resulting in a roller coaster of tears, laughter, letting go and finding new life.
This show is part of Springboard for the Arts Incubator program, and has a mission to use live theatre along with post-show events to encourage audiences to become organ donors. To read more about this project, go to https://www.givemn.org/story/Tinwomanplay
