CASTING CALL Theatre Guild of Simsbury is looking for a MALE ACTOR in their 20's to cast in the role of GEORGE  GIBBS in our spring production of OUR TOWN. Description: George Gibbs George Gibbs is the All-American boy, or, more appropriately, what some people think of as the typical boy—nice and polite, but not very good at book and school learning; loving, but not very good at expressing those emotions; and perfectly happy to stay on the farm. George is sincere, though just a bit tongue-tied when it comes to telling Emily that he loves her in Act Two. He is not a rebel and he doesn't want to change the world. He just wants to fall in love, marry, and live happily until "death do us part." And, even though the living happily part didn't last as long as he wanted it to, that's exactly what happens to George and Emily. In Act Three, George doesn't utter a single word, but, when he throws himself on Emily's grave, his actions speak volumes.
