Auditions Sunday & Monday For Center Street Community Theatre Production
Posted
Staff Report-
Center Street Community Theatre will hold auditions next week for its production of “You Can’t Take It With You” by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Initial auditions will be held Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. Callbacks will then be June 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. Both auditions and callbacks will be held in the black box theatre at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center. The play calls for nine men (one black, eight any race) and seven women (one black, six any race). “We want everyone who comes out to audition to have an equal opportunity to demonstrate their skill,” said Jennifer Shepherd, director and acting president of the community theatre. “So we don’t expect anyone to come in with a prepared monologue, or anything like that – just a willingness to read from the script and an idea of the scheduling conflicts they may have.” This will be the first production for the newly formed community theatre. Greg Teghtmeyer, founding member and acting marketing director for the group, states that they chose “You Can’t Take It With You” intentionally. “We want our first show to provide ample opportunity for community involvement, and to be something that will draw in audiences,” he said. “This play has a terrific script: it’s both incredibly funny and very poignant.” Center Street Community Theatre’s production of “You Can’t Take It With You” will be performed Oct. 10, 11 and 12. Those interested in auditioning can request copies of the script at the second-floor help desk of the Warsaw Community Public Library.
