The Bend Performing Arts Center will conduct casting for the play “Nerve,” by Adam Symkowicz, from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday at BendPAC (1155 S.W. Division St.).

According to Brad Hills of BendPAC, the play is a dark comedy about falling into a relationship on the first date.

“Elliot has never had an online date before … at least not one that showed up. Susan has had far too many but would prefer not to discuss them. When they meet in a bar one night, all their personality flaws are revealed, along with a puppet, some modern dance and a desperation that may or may not be love,” Hills said in a press release.

One man and one woman of any ethnicity and between the ages of 25 and 45 will be cast.

The auditions will be readings from the play, samples of which will be available at the theater or via e-mail by request. All members of the community are invited to audition.

This play will be the first production staged in The Balcony Scene, the intimate lobby area of the BendPAC.
