Constellations follows the relationship between quantum physicist Marianne and beekeeper Roland as it
unfolds across infinite parallel universes. Deftly blending science and romance, the story shows us how
small choices can lead to wildly different realities throughout our lives, moving from the question of
"what
if" to a poignant picture of "what is" - from meeting to mortality
with each scene repeated in slightly
different ways to reflect the concept of a multiverse with unlimited possibilities.
One relationship. Infinite possibilities. In how many universes would you love someone?
And with endless
choices that can change the trajectory of a life, it's anyone's guess how cosmic collision between two souls
is possible.
AUDITION PROCESS
Kentwood Players is committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and encourages actors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, abilities, and identities to audition.
Appointments are not necessary for in-person auditions, but please allow time to sign in and complete any required paperwork during scheduled audition times. Bring a current headshot, resume, and your calendar, as you will be asked to note any potential conflicts with the posted rehearsal schedule (Mondays-Thursdays 7pm - 10pm and Saturdays 10am - 12pm).
Kentwood Players is casting two couples, each a man and a woman, who will perform alternate
performances for the run. Counterparts from each couple will act as understudies, should need arise. This
one-act play runs 90 minutes.
Those auditioning will do cold reading sides from script and scene set ups at callbacks. Both roles require
a Northern English dialect or the ability to learn one. Dialect coach will be provided. Familiarity with
American Sign Language or the ability to learn one is required. ASL instruction will be provided.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
Marianne: 25-40 Female or female presenting. Astrophysicist. Vivacious and playful
when we first meet her but must come to terms with the development of a brain tumor, which sometimes
affects her speech, and with its various prognoses.
Roland: 30-40 Male or male presenting. A beekeeper and Marianne's partner.
Divorced and down on his luck. Grounded, gentle nature contrasts with Marianne's intellectualism,
providing emotional depth and support.
