2015 Lawyer Play Auditions!

Great Canadian Theatre Company and the County of Carleton Law Association  are pleased to announce the auditions for the 2015 Lawyer Play!

This new adaptation of the play that inspired several movies such as "You've Got Mail" (1998) and "She Loves Me" (1978), is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of Parfumerie employee George Horvath. Just days before Christmas, George's boss fires him after mistakenly suspecting him to be the lover of his unfaithful wife. Meanwhile, George's own love life goes awry when he discovers that the stranger he has fallen in love with through secret correspondence is none other than Amalia Balash, a co-worker with whom he constantly feuds. For the employees of the Parfumerie, only the truth can lead to a happy resolution in this old-fashioned, romantic comedy.
