New Haven Theater Company is holding auditions for its March production of The Seafarer, by Conor McPherson, directed by Hilary Brown, on Monday and Tuesday, January 9 & 10 at the New Haven Public Library, from 5:30 to 8 pm. Most roles have already been cast, but we are looking for an actor to play the role of Richard, age 55 to 65 (even 70). Richard is essentially a functioning alcoholic, who has recently gone blind in an accident. He can be prickly and is easily provoked, yet he still wants to celebrate good times with good friends, and to be a good host on Christmas Eve.
