    Auditions are being held at Stage West Theater for Bernard Pomerance’s drama The Elephant Man, directed by Tom Amen.

As Merrick shifts from spectacle to a figure of fascination among the social elite, he continues to seek the simplest acknowledgement, to be seen as fully human. The story contrasts exploitation, voyeurism, and hypocrisy with themes of dignity, compassion, and faith. This production contains brief adult nudity, language, and mature situations, and is intended for mature audiences.
