TEATRO VISTA announces Non-Equity understudy auditions for the world premiere of THE ABUELAS by Stephanie Alison Walker and directed by Artistic Director Ricardo Gutierrez.

Gabriela is an Argentine concert cellist living in Chicago with her American husband and adjusting to life as a new mom. Life is good - normal life worries - but good, until a visit from two strangers upends everything. This play, about the long and devastating repercussions of Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976-1983, asks how one goes on after discovering their life is a lie? Does the restoration of truth bring freedom or suffering? Is it possible to integrate two identities into one life? The Abuelas explores these questions as well as the heart's capacity for forgiveness even in the face of the harshest betrayal.
