Auditions at
Theatre West
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Theatre West will be looking for talent once again when they
hold auditions for their May production of “Steel Magnolias”, a
comedy/drama by Robert Harling. The director is Drew Froom. Drew
most recently appeared in “Bullshot Crummond”. He has been with
Theatre West for 6 years.
Auditions will be Sunday, March 23 and Monday, March 24 at 7:00
P.M. The play is set to run from May 8 through May 31, 2008 every
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 P.M. There are roles
for 6 women of varying ages. There is also a need for persons to
help behind the scenes in set construction, decoration, lights and
sound and costuming." Cast and crew will be required to join the
membership of Theatre West for the 2008 season if they have not
already done so.
The action is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana ,
where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done.
Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether
or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy
dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town's rich curmudgeon,
Ouiser, ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty
years"); an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging
sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M'Lynn, whose daughter,
Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a "good ole
boy." Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but
humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward
tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a
diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden
realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on
the underlying strength and love which give the play, and its
characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny
and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
Auditions will be held at the theatre on the Jack Coyne Stage
located at 3536 SE HWY. 101 in Lincoln City . No previous acting
experience or prepared material is required for the audition.
Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a
minimum of 4 nights a week.
