Altarena Playhouse in Alameda, CA – Auditions for Actors

Altarena Playhouse is holding auditions for Grand Horizons by Beth Wohl

Directed by Angela Mason

Performance Dates: January 24th through February 23rd, Friday, Saturday evenings, and Sunday afternoons

Over a quiet dinner for two, Bill and Nancy serenely decide to divorce after fifty years of marriage. While Nancy feels liberated and Bill seems unfazed, their adult sons don’t exactly take it well. As their kids descend on the Grand Horizons senior living community in an attempt to mediate, everything they thought they knew about their parents comes crashing down. This Tony-nominated comedy is a hilarious, heartbreaking commentary on marriage, family, and the wisdom that comes with age—or not.
