INFORMATION<br>
It's not easy being a woman in the 19th century,
particularly if your family thinks you're
incapable of being a “lady”. Knowing the family
fortune is being manipulated away, knowing her
beloved birds were exterminated for being “a
nuisance”, knowing there was absolutely nobody to
trust, Lizzie Borden finally snaps — turning an
axe against those who wronged her. Did she commit
murder? Or did her parents end themselves?</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">CHARACTERS<br>
(All characters are age range 25+)<br>
Miss Lizzie, doubled to Bridget in the past (F,
large role) — Bridget has an Irish accent.<br>
The Actress, doubled to Lizzie in the past (F,
large role)<br>
Emma Borden, Lizzie’s older sister (F, small role)<br>
Andrew Borden, Lizzie’s father (M, medium role)<br>

role)<br>

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">MANDATORY

PROCESS<br>
Auditions will be held at KWLT’s rehearsal studio,
44 Gaukel St. in Kitchener (across from the bus

<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px;">We
recommend that you prepare a monologue of your
choice, either comic or dramatic. Monologues will
be available at the auditions if you don’t wish to
prepare something. You may be asked to deliver
your monologue in a different style and/or to read
portions of the script. Your audition may take up
to 15-20 minutes.</p>
