Auditions for The Naples Players drama, the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Rabbit Hole,” will begin at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, at the Players’ home, the Sugden Community Theatre. No appointment is needed; auditioners should arrive no later than 3 p.m. on the 22nd.

“Rabbit Hole” was written by David Lindsay-Abaire, and was highly praised by critics during its New York run. It focuses on Becca and Howie Corbett, who had everything a family could want until a horrifying accident turned their world upside down. The play focuses on their search for comfort and a path back to the light of day.

The show will be directed by John McKerrow, director of other Players’ productions “Mauritius” and “The Sugar Bean Sisters.”

The cast of five includes three women, ages 25 to 70, portraying Becca, her mother, and her younger sister. Males include Howie, 30 to 55, and a teen-age boy 15-25.

Rehearsals will begin Feb. 14. Performances are March 30-April 23, 2011. Perusal scripts are available for 72 hours, with a $20 deposit, at The Naples Players’ Box Office, 263-7990, Sugden Community Theatre, 701 5th Avenue South on the Plaza in downtown Naples.
