Audition infoEclectic Full Contact Theatre is now accepting headshot/resumé submissions for understudies for its upcoming world premiere of “Refracted Light” by Dana Hall, running 8/29-9/27 at The Edge Theatre on Broadway.
“Refracted Light” is a touching, heartfelt, and funny exploration of family dynamics and mental health. Lucy is preparing for Penny to leave for college when she discovers information that casts doubt on whether now is the right time. Before she can address her concerns, an unexpected turn of events occurs—Penny goes missing. With loss, mental health struggles, and a whirlwind of changes, the family finds itself unraveling. The question arises: How can a typical suburban family cope with these challenges without losing their sanity?
