The Middlebury Community Players are holding auditions for two plays, Love/Sick and Steel Magnolias, to be presented this summer at the Vergennes Opera House. Auditions will be held on April 17 at Town Hall Theater, 68 South Pleasant Street, Middlebury and on April 18 at the Vergennes Opera House, 120 Main Street, Vergennes. Both auditions will begin at 7:00, with registration beginning at 6:30.

Auditions will consist of readings from the scripts. There's no need to prepare anything, and you need only come one night. Callbacks, if necessary, will be scheduled after auditions. Love/Sick will play from June June 20 to 23, and Steel Magnolias will play August 15 to 18. All rehearsals will be held in Weybridge.

Love/Sick consists of nine scenes of contemporary love by John Cariani, the author of Almost, Maine. The cast can be anywhere from 4 to 18 actors, depending on doubling. The scenes can accommodate a wide variety of types and ages.

Steel Magnolias has a cast of six women:

Truvy, 40-ish; Annelle, 19; Clairee, late 60s to early 70s; Shelby, 25-ish; M'Lynn, early 50s; and Ouiser, Late 60s to early 70s. For the playwright's descriptions of the characters, please go to the MCP website.
