Upcoming Spring Production Auditions!

The Theater Arts Ministry announces auditions for the SGC 2020 spring play, "Arsenic and Old Lace"

Newly-engaged drama critic Mortimer Brewster has always known that insanity runs in his family; in fact, in his words, it "practically gallops." Take his bugle blowing brother Teddy, who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt and runs up and down the stairs yelling "CHARGE!" Or his other brother Jonathan, who has deadlier and darker inclinations; to the family's relief, he has not been seen at home in years. But Mortimer's two sweet old aunts, Abigail and Martha, are the very picture of sanity -- or are they? When Mortimer finds a corpse hidden in a window seat, he has to reconsider that opinion. His plans to dispose of the evidence are impeded when the psychopathic and homicidal Jonathan reappears, along with his alcoholic plastic surgeon, Dr Einstein (who was responsible for the botched surgery that has left Jonathan looking like horror film actor Boris Karloff). Mortimer must rally to help his aunts and protect his fiancé -- all while trying to keep his own sanity.

The play will be performed at Spring Glen Church on April 30, May 1 and May 2, 2020. Auditions will be held on Saturday, February 1 and Sunday, February 2, in the Fellowship Room. If you are interested in auditioning, please email directors.myers@gmail.com to sign up for a time slot -- you must be signed up for a time slot in order to audition. Time slots start at 1pm on each day; please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Also email if you are interested in auditioning but unable to make either session this weekend. We‘ll try to arrange a mutually agreeable alternate time/place with you. Rehearsal info, play synopsis, roles, and sides for auditions are posted at https://amyers0017.wixsite.com/oldlace.
