Underscore Theatre Company is seeking actors for a staged reading of Bone Harp, the story of two sisters. Jenny and Jessa are outsiders, living on the outskirts of town with their father, the village gravedigger. Since their mother ran away two years ago, they've found companionship in the Boneyard, a ghostly realm they can only enter together, populated with the spirits of the town's former inhabitants. When a new spirit appears in the Boneyard, the girls must question everything they thought they knew about their family, and decide which world they want to live (or die) in.

Father- Male, 40s-60s. Bass. The charnel house and graveyard keeper of the town. Careworn and hardworked.
Mr. Laird- Baritone/bass, 40s-60s. Ghost ensemble.
Mrs. Flood- Alto, 50s-70s. Ghost ensemble.
