Pine Tree Players is excited to announce a casting call for Seminar, a provocative Broadway comedy by Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck. Auditions will take place on August 19 and 22, 2024, and we’re looking for talented individuals to fill multiple roles!

Anastasia’s connection to theatre began early, sparked by a junior high school production that made something click deep inside. “I saw a production the grade 8s had created for a ‘Welcome New Students’ night and felt an intense pull to be involved,” she recalls. “I haven’t stopped yet.” That lifelong passion eventually led her to Pine Tree Players, where she first appeared as an actor in the 2018 Canmore Summer Theatre Festival production of Romeo and Juliet, and earlier that same year she was the fight director for I Hate Hamlet.
