Auditions!

Against all possible odds, it's time for us to start preparing for the next show...er, shows.

As many of you already know, the Spring production is actually what's called a repertory offering. We're doing two shows in the same space on alternating nights:

1) Church & State, directed by Chris Gilmartin: Three days before his bid for reelection, in the wake of a school shooting in his hometown of Raleigh, NC, a Republican U.S. senator makes an off-the-cuff comment to a blogger that gets leaked on “the Twitter,” calling into question the senator’s stance on guns and God in this political comedy.

2) The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by Jamie Miller: While assuming the role of a dutiful guardian in the country, Jack lets loose in town under a false identity. Meanwhile, his friend Algy adopts a similar facade. Hoping to impress two eligible ladies, the gentlemen find themselves caught in a web of lies they must carefully navigate.

Two very different plays: one a comedy, the other a hair more dramatic; one laid-back and clever, one passionate and personal.

More and more information will be coming out in the coming days. Keep your browser pointed here for all the deets...

In the meantime, you can read both scripts by accessing the script in the menu/sidebar...and download the joint-show audition packet to get up to speed on the auditions, expectations, and timelines.

See you Thursday, 3/5!
