SHOW INFORMATION
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?

Miss Lizzie, doubled to Bridget in the past (F, large role) — Bridget 
has an Irish accent.
The Actress, doubled to Lizzie in the past (F, large role)

MANDATORY DATES
Actors must be available for all performances (September 27, 28, 29, 
October 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13) as well as tech week and the full dress 
rehearsals (September 22, 23, 24, 25).  Other mandatory dates include 
the first read-through (either July 14 or 15) and the poster run (TBD).

AUDITION PROCESS
Auditions will be held at KWLT’s rehearsal studio, 44 Gaukel St. in 
Kitchener (across from the bus terminal downtown).

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.

in the schedule to audition.

REHEARSAL INFORMATION
