Auditions! Enchanted April (performing in March, 2026)

Easthampton Theater Company is excited to announce auditions for Enchanted April by Matthew Barber, based on the book by Elizabeth von Arnim. We are seeking eight talented and dedicated actors of a wide range of ages. All roles are available; none are pre-cast. We strongly encourage actors of all races, ethnicities, and gender identities to audition. Matthew Barber’s Enchanted April, based on Elizabeth Von Arnim’s beloved novel of the 1920s, is a gentle and beautiful story of the importance of platonic relationships, friendships among women, self-care, and rediscovering who you are when life has caused you to lose yourself. The original 2003 Broadway production was nominated for two Tony awards and won Outer Critics Circle and Drama League awards. 

Synopsis: Enchanted April is a heartwarming, character-driven play set in 1920s England and Italy, following four very different women who escape their dreary lives and unfulfilling relationships by renting a castle on the Italian Riviera for the month of April. As they navigate clashing personalities, unexpected friendships, and personal awakenings, the women—and the men in their lives—are transformed by the beauty, freedom, and magic of their surroundings. With rich roles offering emotional depth, humor, and growth, Enchanted April is a rare ensemble piece that gives each actor the chance to shine in a story full of charm, change, and hope.

The show is directed by Gilana Chelimsky and produced by Michael O. Budnick and Deb Jacobson. Auditions are by appointment only on November 10th and 12th, with callbacks (if needed) on November 19th. Performance dates are the weekends of March 14-22.
