IMMEDIATE CASTING FOR A TWO-CHARACTER MUSICAL COMEDY!
Seeking all ethnicities!!!!
Two rural North Carolina cucumber farmers facing foreclosure of their beloved family farm approach an Oscar-winning actress-turned-beauty guru with a formula for a super-effective beauty mask. But when she tries to buy the farm right out from under them, our “hayseed heroes” must act fast, or they’ll find themselves in a real pickle! Duncan Christy and Ina Chadwick’s musical comedy, Rue d’Awakening, is a ridiculous romp on the rural side that you’re sure to feel in your funny bone!
