- **Event Name**: AUDITIONS: FIGHT AND FURY
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 16 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 16 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Insanity of Mary Girard is the real-life story of a Philadelphia woman who spent the last 25 years of her life in a mental institution. In 1790, Mary Girard is committed to an asylum. After she became pregnant by another man, her husband had her declared legally insane. Now, she sits in a chair as the "furies" dance around and impersonate people from her past. By the end of this haunting and highly theatrical piece, Mary has grown rather convincingly into her diagnosis.

• Mary Girard: A Philadelphia woman wrongfully committed to an asylum in 1790 after becoming pregnant by another man. She is forced to sit in a "trunk chair" while forced to confront the events leading to her imprisonment.
• Stephen Girard: Mary’s cold, controlling husband who initiates her commitment to the institution.
• The Furies (5 Actors): These ensemble members act as a chorus and play multiple roles from Mary's life, including:
• The Warder/Fury #1: A man running the institution who controls Mary's physical space.
• Mrs. Lum/Fury #2: Mary's mother, who believes women should follow societal rules and submit to their husbands.
• Polly Kenton/Fury #3: Represents a figure from Mary’s past.
• Mr. Phillips/Fury #4: An authority figure.
• Mrs. Hatcher/Fury #5: The woman to whom Mary's baby was given. 



15% Hotter- Four women sit waiting to be seen by a medical professional musing on whether they will be dismissed or finally taken seriously. 

Catherine:
(Age 60s+) is thoughtful and observant woman who has spent a lifetime being capable, polite, and accommodating.  Though she is largely ignored or patronized by the medical professionals overseeing her declining health, she remains calmly objective and tells her story of frustration and heartbreak with gentle humor, rather than sarcasm.

Roxy Heart Carter: (Age 30s) is a sarcastic and blunt individual. She is reaching the end of her rope after 12 years struggling to get a diagnosis only to find she has stage four endometriosis, something that should have gotten caught a lot sooner, and could have been if someone had only listened or advocated. Now she still struggles to get anyone to understand or address her physical pain and mental exhaustion. 

Marcella Jackson Serrano: mid to late 20s, she is a hardworking businesswoman and event coordinator, a hustler by nature who has worked many odd jobs to make ends meet. Her level of non-functional high maintenance holds her back, adding to her stress levels and amounting debt. Realistic at best and cyclical at worst, she is tired, and her exhaustion is followed by mountains of sarcasm and anger boiling underneath the surface.

Matilda: ~mid to late 20s. Smart and bubbly, albeit disenfranchised with the system. Diagnosed anxiety, depression, ADHD.
