Scorpio Theatre is pleased to announce auditions for its spring show, “Salvage”, by Dan Gibbins.  Show dates are May 31st to June 9th, 2012 at the Joyce Doolittle Theatre at the Pumphouse Theatres.

 

Synopsis:

Years ago, best friends Amy, Caleb and Jasmine ran a salvage operation together, along with their fourth partner Marcus. But when Amy died, Caleb and Jasmine circled into self-destruction. Caleb’s turned to the bottle, and Jasmine’s started taking salvage jobs for gangsters. Three years after her death, Amy finds her way back to Earth with the help of Saints Matthew and Peter to try and turn her friends’ lives around… but will her return make things better or worse?
