AUDITION NOTICE: The Pink Hammer - Ipswich Little Theatre

Title: The Pink Hammer

Presented By: Ipswich Little Theatre

Genre: Comedy / Drama

Synopsis: Four very different women answer a flyer for “The Pink Hammer Workshop” — a ladies-only woodwork class. Expecting empowerment and sisterhood from tutor Maggie Taylor, they instead find Maggie missing in action. Maggie’s husband Woody is less than thrilled about a group of women invading his workshop, but he has little choice. As personalities clash and secrets emerge, the workshop becomes a journey of humour, healing, and unexpected connection.
