AUDITIONS for Baltimore Waltz

When Anna, a schoolteacher, is diagnosed with ATD (Acquired Toilet Disease), she and her brother Carl take flight to Europe. Anna decides to drown herself in the sensuality of food and sex, while Carl becomes involved in a wild scheme to find a cure for his sister. In the middle of it all is a Third Man, who appears in various forms throughout their journey. This award-winning script by Paula Vogel will be directed by Erinn Hartley.

Carl: Anna's brother; well-educated with a fiery revolutionary spirit; sensitive and flamboyant; able to deftly move between drama and comedy; great ear for foreign languages

Third Man: multiple roles; requires lots of versatility; good sense of comedic timing; plays a waiter, a revolutionary, a virgin, and a 50-year old "Little Dutch Boy" to name a few; good ear for foreign languages
