Altarena Playhouse is holding auditions for:
GRAND HORIZONS
by Beth Wohl
Directed by Angela Mason
January 24 – February 23, 2025
Over a quiet dinner for two, Bill and Nancy serenely decide to divorce after fifty years of marriage. While Nancy feels liberated and Bill seems unfazed, their adult sons don’t exactly take it well. As their kids descend on the Grand Horizons senior living community in an attempt to mediate, everything they thought they knew about their parents comes crashing down. This Tony-nominated comedy is a hilarious, heartbreaking commentary on marriage, family, and the wisdom that comes with age—or not.
