 Theatre Tuscaloosa Holds Auditions for RUMORS

Tuscaloosa – Theatre Tuscaloosa will hold open auditions for the comedy RUMORS by Neil Simon on August 28th and 29th at 7:00 P.M. at the Bean Brown Theatre in the Sandra Hall Ray Fine Arts Center on the campus of Shelton State Community College, 9500 Old Greensboro Road in Tuscaloosa.

            Roles are available for five men and five women ages mid-30’s to mid-50’s.  Auditions will be reading from the script; a prepared monologue is not required.

            Directed by Tina Fitch, RUMORS is the story of a dinner party where four snazzily-dressed couples gather at the home of Charlie and Myra Brock to celebrate the tenth wedding anniversary of their hosts. But Charlie is lying upstairs with a bullet hole in his ear lobe, and Myra is nowhere to be seen. We are pitched headlong into high-voltage hilarity as the friends try frantically to protect their host (who is deputy mayor of New York), and themselves, by hiding the evening’s events from the outside world.

            RUMORS will be presented September 29 through October 8 as the opening production of Theatre Tuscaloosa’s 2006-2007 season.  For additional information, please call the Theatre Tuscaloosa office at 205-391-2277.
