Black Swamp Players casting ‘Not Quite Gone’

The Black Swamp Players will hold auditions for “Not Quite Gone” at the theater at 115 E. Oak St. Saturday, April 1, 10 a.m. to noon, and Monday, April 3, 6-7:30 p.m.

The play by Ethan Woody Brown was the winner of the BSP’s annual playwriting contest.

With the help of a friend, an aging woman experiencing dementia discovers how to remember her past. An earlier version of Brown’s “Not Quite Gone” was part of a slate of student written and directed one-act plays staged in January 2020, his senior year in high school. 

The story is a lighthearted approach to dementia and memories. Memories remembered and memories gone. Brown was inspired by some interviews he conducted with residents at a local elderly care facility.

The play will be staged weekends,  June 16-25.
