Announcing auditions for our spring production of Four Old Broads by Leslie Kimbell, directed by Tim Myerscough.
The play is Rivercity’s entry into the annual North Island Zone Festival, which we are delighted to be hosting this May.
The comedy is set in Magnolia Place Assisted Living, where retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton desperately needs a vacation – and NOT another trip up to Helen, Georgia to see that “precious little German village for the umpteenth time.” A Sassy Seniors Cruise through the Caribbean may be just the ticket if she can just convince her best friend, Eaddy Mae Clayton, to stop praying and go with her. Unfortunately, things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since Nurse Pat Jones began working there. A mystery unfolds with laughter as the gals try to outsmart the evil Nurse Pat Jones and figure out why so many residents have been moved to “the dark side.”
Auditions will be held Monday January 30th from 6:30-9:30pm at Rivercity Stage, 1080 Hemlock Street. Call backs will be Wednesday February 1st from 6:30-9:30pm. Director Tim Myerscough is seeking 4 women 60+, 2 women 30-40, 1 man 60+, as well as 1 man and 1 woman 30+ for Offstage TV show voices.
Rehearsals will begin in March and will be held Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-9pm. Performances will be April 26-30 and May 4-6. An additional performance date will be announced once the zone festival schedule is finalized.
