AUDITIONS: BUG FEBRUARY 2-5, 2025

Tacoma, WA-Tacoma Little Theatre is holding auditions for Tracy Letts’
disturbing thriller, Bug.  This production will be directed by Blake R.
York.

Auditions will be held on Sunday, February 2nd and Monday, February 3rd at
Tacoma Little Theatre (210 N I Street, Tacoma WA 98403), and Tuesday,
February 4th at the Star Center (3873 S 66th St, Tacoma, WA
98409). Audition appointments will be set starting at 6:00pm on Sunday and
7:00pm on Monday and Tuesday. Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, February
5th at Tacoma Little Theatre. All actors must schedule their appointment
using Casting Manager at the link below.

The play centers on the meeting between Agnes, a lonely divorcee, and
Peter, a soft-spoken Gulf War drifter. Agnes stays at a seedy motel in
hopes of avoiding her abusive ex-husband, Jerry. At first, she lets Peter
sleep platonically on her floor, but not long after he is promoted to the
bed. Matters become more complicated as Jerry eagerly returns expecting to
resume their relationship. On top of that, there’s a hidden bug infestation
that has both Agnes and Peter dealing with scathing welts and festering
sores—which has Peter believing this is the result of experiments conducted
on him during his stay at an Army hospital. Their fears soon escalate to
paranoia, conspiracy theories and twisted psychological motives.

Little Theatre regardless of any physical attribute, gender, race, age,
