PORT ANGELES — Auditions are set for 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. this Wednesday for “Carver/Beginners: Before & After,” a production celebrating the soon-to-be-published American edition of Raymond Carver’s Beginners.
Director Jim Guthrie is seeking readers in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and older for this event at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd.
The production will take the stage on the last weekend of August, beginning Friday, Aug. 28, at 7:30 p.m. with a showing of “Birdman,” the Oscar-winning film whose plot is built around “What We Talk about When We Talk about Love,” one of Carver’s stories.
Then staged readings of Carver’s work will be held at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, and finally at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30.
Stories scheduled to be in the show are “Beginners” — the one formerly titled “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” — as well as “Why Don’t You Dance?,” “Pie” (formerly titled “A Serious Talk”), “So Much Water So Close to Home” and “One More Thing.”
