THE THIN PLACE
By Lucas Hnath
Directed by Josephine Miller ‘24 

Performances: 
December 7 - 10
Leeds Theatre

Everyone who ever died is still here, just in a different part of here. Linda can communicate with them. And if you believe, she can make you hear them, too — in the thin place, the fragile boundary between our world and the other one. With acuity and relentless curiosity, The Thin Place transforms the theater into an intimate séance, crafting an unnerving testament to the power of the mind.

CASTING NOTE:
While those auditioning for Linda are welcome to read in a British accent, it is not required. The cast will have an opportunity to work with a dialect coach, and for audition purposes, we are more interested in what you bring to the character than your ability to accurately perform the accent!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

LINDA
She/her, in her sixties– any race/ethnicity. A professional psychic from the U.K., more working class than posh. What she does sits somewhere between the real and the unreal. 

HILDA
She/her, in her late thirties– any race/ethnicity. Answers phones for a store, and started spending time with Linda after her mother died… or went missing? She likes to listen. 

JERRY
He/him, in his fifties– any race/ethnicity. A political consultant, and Linda’s American cousin. We all want to think that the best idea wins, but that’s just not how it works. 

SYLVIA
She/her, in her forties– any race/ethnicity. Wealthy, and just went through a bad divorce. Not talking about being a martyr– she just means that she could give more. 

About the Director:
Josie Miller (she/her) is a senior concentrating in TAPS with a focus on directing. Her work is centered around humor, horror, and women, and she is currently writing her thesis on the intersection of feminist issues and body horror in contemporary satirical plays. She would love to play a board game with you and see a picture of your dog.
