The Middlebury Community Players will hold open auditions for Morning's at Seven, a comedy by Paul Osborn, on November 18th at the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury, November 20th at Middlebury Fitness in Middlebury. This Tony Award-winning, heartwarming classic focuses on the four aging Gibbs sisters and their husbands living "a stone's throw" away from each other in a small midwestern town in 1928 and the reactions within the family when 40-year-old Homer announces he's finally going to marry his girlfriend of the last 12 years and move out. Long-simmering resentments, rivalries, betrayals, misunderstandings, and familial bickering ensue.
The play is being directed by MCP board member Peter Kristoph. There are 5 female roles and 4 male roles. Seven characters are in their 60s-70s, while two are around 40. No preparation is required, but actors may wish to read the play in advance. A lending copy of the script will be available for perusal (for 24 hours) at the Town Hall Theater box office prior to auditions.
