Auditions, Fall, Featured, Latest News, News Releases, Productions

Picketwire invites us to dive into the dark world of Ray Bradbury’s dystopian classic “Fahrenheit 451.” Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper ignites. This powerful drama is about the inner struggle of Guy Montag, a fireman. Living in a highly controlled world, where firemen no longer extinguish fires, but rather start them. Montag has worked as a civil servant for ten years burning books, but lately he has become increasingly unsure about what he is doing and about his vegetable-like existence. It is not until he meets a teenager, who is filled with strange ideas, that he is led into a dangerous and highly combustible situation. Now he must choose between continuing his nonexistent existence and risking everything for the right to think.

The show features ample roles for audition goers ages 15 and up. Auditions will be held July 20th and 21st at 7:00 PM at the Picketwire Center located at 802 San Juan Avenue in La Junta. Audition goers can expect to read a selection from the script, which will be provided. For questions, or requests for alternative audition times, please contact the director Ashley Jo Kelley at 719-980-1444.

Performance date for “Fahrenheit 451” are September 10, 11, 12, & 13. For up to date theater information visit picketwireplayers.org, Facebook, or call 719-384-8320.
