The Ridgefield Theater Barn will hold open auditions for the Black Box production of A Dangerous Man by Mel Power at 37 Halpin Lane, on Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8, at 7 p.m.
Directed by Sherry Asch, the production will be presented Friday and Saturday evenings July 11 through the 19 at 8.
In this play based on true events, Tara Jones, a young, white, single mother, arrives home from work at night as she always does — but this evening she has a deadly visitor. Anthony Taylor, a handsome, well-dressed, educated black man in his 30s, is the object of an intense manhunt by the police for murder. He has killed two people, one of them a police officer, and he forces Tara into her apartment from behind with a gun to her head.
As time passes in the apartment a sensitive, even sympathetic relationship develops between Tara and Anthony as both realize that unintentional actions taken by either of them can — and do — have life-altering consequences.
