Sept 29th – The Beguiled

Directed by Hilary Boyle and produced by Nessa Power, cast include Paul Mc Corry, Nessa Power, Ann Hogan, Julianna Gonzales, Roisin Mee, Noelle Timmons, Aisling O Leary, Abril Keinrath, Maria Fernanda, Aidan Judd, and Alan O Brien
This classic Southern gothic story details a wounded Yankee soldier in the American civil war, who takes refuge in a ladies boarding school. The girls immediately fall under the spell of this charming stranger. But soon his presence unleashes something dark and dangerous in all of them. Lots of female parts up for grabs, one major male part and a couple of smaller roles.
