Synopsis: Frozen is a powerful and emotionally gripping drama that explores themes of grief, forgiveness, and the psychology of crime. The play follows three characters: a mother whose daughter was abducted and murdered, the murderer himself, and an academic studying criminal psychology. As their stories intertwine over the years, Frozen delves deep into the nature of evil, the possibility of redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Available Roles:
Please note the role of Agnetha has already been cast. We are seeking actors for the following roles:

NANCY (Female presenting, 40s-60s): The mother of Rhona, a child who goes missing. Over the course of the play, she journeys through twenty years of frozen grief, rage, and eventually, a complex form of forgiveness. Requires an actor capable of deep emotional range and vulnerability.

RALPH (Male presenting, 40s-60s): A loner and a drifter who commits an unspeakable crime. The play examines his psychology and background without excusing his actions, painting a disturbing yet human portrait of a serial killer. Requires an actor comfortable with dark, challenging material.

SET encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities, as well as performers with disabilities, to attend every audition.
If cast, all roles are on a volunteer basis and unpaid. Springs Ensemble Theatre is unable to hire members of Equity at this time.
