Auditions for West Hartford Hauntings Taking Place Next Week

The Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society invites the public to audition for the 10th Annual West Hartford Hauntings on Tuesday, Sept. 2 and Thursday, Sept. 4.

The Hauntings is an outdoor theatrical tour of the town’s North Cemetery.

Each tour is led by a guide in character through the rows of gravestones, and all of the characters are people from West Hartford’s past. Actors ages 11 and over are invited to audition, though actors and actresses age 17 and over are especially needed. Five tour guides are needed, preferably with improvisation experience, as well as male and female characters from age 16 to 60.

Auditions will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society (227 S. Main, West Hartford) on Sept. 2 and 4.

The Hauntings outdoor show will be performed on Fridays and Saturdays in October (17, 18, 24, and 25, with rain dates on Sundays, Oct. 19 and 26). Call 860-521-5362 x21 for an audition time. Times are available every 10 minutes from 4 p.m. to 5:50 p.m.

Rehearsals will take place on Mondays and Thursdays throughout September and October.
