One more audition coming up on Friday - this one is for the ARTS production of Crimes of the Heart.
It's a small cast - two men and four women. Here's the story:
Hazelhurst, Mississippi is where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at 30 and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, who outgrew Hazelurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer Barnette who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. Doc is Meg's High School sweetheart who livens up the mix even more.
This is the story of how people escape the past to seize the future.
Auditions will be in the ARTS Theatre (the old Huntington High School) and will consist of selected readings from the script. Callbacks, if needed, will be Sunday, June 11 at 2 p.m.
Performances will be August 17, 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26.
Call ARTS 304-733-2787 with questions, or Bil Neal (Director) at 304-544-3926.

While the play has won the Pulitzer, the Director has not won anything since being the third caller on WTCR. (Second caller won dinner for two). This is a lovely story, and I hope we find the perfect six actors to showcase in it.
