>>Hello Katelyn, great to hear from you! Here's some more information:
>>
>>Harlequin Productions is seeking visually 
>>impaired actors to audition for our 2026 
>>season. The particular role we are looking to 
>>cast is Susan Hendrix in Wait Until Dark by 
>>Frederick Knott, playing January 23 - Feb 8, 
>>2026 at the State Theater in Olympia, WA.
>>SUSY HENDRIX (Stage age 28) Susy is a vivacious 
>>young woman who was blinded in a car accident a 
>>year ago. Possessed of a very strong will, she 
>>decided not long after her accident that she 
>>would not let it ruin her life. She met Sam a 
>>few months after the accident and was drawn to 
>>his refusal to see her as handicapped and she 
>>married him. She is highly intuitive and very 
>>sensitive. These traits sometimes give her an 
>>air of vulnerability that is a counterpoint to 
>>her strong spirit. Susy is still adjusting to 
>>her blindness – and to her relatiively new 
>>marriage – and is happy to subjugate her 
>>natural free-spiritedness tto Sam’s more rigid way of living.
>>The role is physically demanding and will require stage combat experience.
>>This is a non-Union contract.
>>The pay is $250/week.
>>We are unable to provide housing or travel, so this is for local hires.
>>Rehearsals begin Jan 5, 206. We rehearse 
>>evenings and weekends, 6 days a week, 25 hours per week.
>>Please submit a headshot and resume to 
>><mailto:casting at harlequinproductions.org>casting at harlequinproductions.org. 
>>Auditions will be held in October.
>>Please note: submitting actors will also be 
>>eligible for other roles in our 2026 season, 
>>depending on interest and availability.
