The New England Vintage Film Society Inc. a MA non-profit 501c3, announces auditions for The Red Lamp , a turn of the century melodramatic comedy, exploring all the complications when three family members use one red lamp (which supposedly brings good luck!) as a signal. Alice communicates to her lover. Harold's alerts his hungry homeless friend he can come over for food. Aunt Matilda uses the lamp to invite her neighbor over for tea. Confusion reigns!
Seeking 3 Men and 3 Women.
