Audition Notice – How They’ll Tell It at the Gargoyle Theatre

What If Theatre is holding auditions for the premiere of How They’ll Tell It. Things haven’t been the same in the tiny resort town of Waska, Manitoba since two women went on a cannibalistic rampage there in 1985. How They’ll Tell It follows Ivy and Celia through the summer in modern-day Waska as they take jobs sprucing up derelict cabins for sale. However, Waska isn’t as abandoned as it might seem, and the two girls soon start telling their own stories about The Waska Massacre.
