Welcome to Somewhere in Time

“All of the performers are very strong. I’m going out on a limb and saying that this was the most effective cast I’ve seen in the Fredericksburg area in my almost four years of play-going here.” – Dennis Wemm, FXBG Advance
About us

Audience Feedback
- Edwin
"Your production was amazing and awesome. I saw in the program that Luke had recorded the violin pieces and it made sense because the music was beautiful.I have told several friends that you have more shows this coming weekend. Hopefully you will get good crowds. Again, I am in awe of your talent and the wonderful team that you pulled together for great success. I know it was a lot of hard work but paid off."
- Becky

From 5:30-7:30 PM

Rehearsal and Show Times TBA.
Please bring headshot and a 3 minute monologue to all auditions.
Characters:
FRANK TURNER, ESQ. African American, 20s – 30s. Role requires an actor who can sing. If you can play an instrument (violin, viola, guitar, harmonica, etc) that would be a bonus. Recorded music is an option. FRANK is highly principled. He feels education is the path to freedom and success. Defying the law, he has taught an enslaved woman, HATTIE ROSE, how to read. To his surprise, he has fallen in love with his student, which thwarts his plan to never become attached to anyone on the plantation. While HATTIE ROSE is tested on her lessons in math, history and literature, FRANK is bewildered by the life-changing lessons HATTIE ROSE will teach him.
BERTHA, 30s-50s, confidante and “mother figure,” to HATTIE ROSE. BERTHA stands tall despite the blows slavery has inflicted upon her. There’s fortitude in her carriage, and intelligence gleam in her dark, expressive eyes. As HATTIE ROSE steps out of her comfort zone to tread new waters, BERTHA remains steadfast to catch her if she falls or holds her hand as she stands on the brink of momentous change into an unknown world.
Note: This is a four character play. The roles of HATTIE ROSE and PAP (LEWIS) have been cast.
