The MAC Theater will be conducting auditions for The Constant Wife by Somerset Maugham, and adapted and directed by Kate Fishman.
Get your groove on. This classic play is reimagined for the late 1960s, when women’s liberation was rising, social norms were shifting, and everything was groovy.
This adaptation drops Maugham’s sharp social comedy into the vibrant, swirling world of the late 1960s – a moment when women were questioning marriage, autonomy, and identity with new fire. In this story Constance Middleton, the stalwart wife of a philandering Harley Street doctor, starts reassessing her life and her choices both past and present. Her decisions are bold and surprising to herself and everyone who knows her. Through it all, Constance emerges as a heroine who discovers her power in a world buzzing with change.
Auditions will be held in the MAC’s Anne Braitmayer Webb Theater at 80 Pleasant St on Saturday, May 16, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, Sunday, May 17, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and Saturday, May 30, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Auditions will be held in the MAC Studio on Sunday, May 31, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
