Inspired by harrowing true events, Richard Kalinowski’s “Beast on the Moon”follows an immigrant refugee and his teenage mail-order bride – two polar opposites who have one tragic experience in common. The cast includes two men and one woman. Rehearsals will begin Nov. 17 for performances Feb. 12-15, 2015.

Callbacks will be held Saturday, Sept. 13. Casting is open to all members of the Salve Regina community as well as the general public.
