FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THEATRE TUSCALOOSA ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR REGRETS ONLY

TUSCALOOSA, AL – Theatre Tuscaloosa will hold open auditions for its upcoming production of Regrets Only Tuesday, March 29, and Wednesday, March 30, at 7:00 p.m. in the Wilson Carr Rehearsal Hall, just off the lobby of the Bean-Brown Theatre on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College (9500 Old Greensboro Road).

This comedic play is set in a penthouse apartment in New York City. A powerhouse attorney, his socialite wife, and their closest friend, one of the world's most staggeringly successful fashion designers, get together to put the concept of marriage on trial when the lawyer is asked to write a controversial Constitutional amendment. Meanwhile, the bridezilla daughter is struggling to pull off the wedding of the century when every flower shop, bakery, and beauty salon in the city mysteriously go on strike. You’ll be rolling in the aisles at what the New York Sun called "a saucy, sharp-tongued comedy of uncivil disobedience."

Regrets Only has two male roles available for actors between the ages of 50 and 65 and four female roles available for actresses between the ages of 30 and 80. Those who audition should be prepared to read from the script (no prepared monologue required) and be familiar with the role in which he or she is interested. It is also recommended that auditionees present a headshot and acting resume. All who audition must bring their calendars and list all conflicts regarding the rehearsal schedule on their audition sheets.

Scripts of Regrets Only are available to read in the Theatre Tuscaloosa Ticket Office in advance (recommended), however, scripts may not leave the premises. The Ticket Office is open Monday-Thursday 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and Fridays 9:00 a.m.-noon.

Rehearsals will begin April 4, 2016. Rehearsals are generally held Monday through Friday evenings and some Sunday afternoons. There will not be rehearsals most Saturdays. The final rehearsal schedule will be published after casting.

Regrets Only will be presented May 13-22 in the Bean-Brown Theatre on the Martin Campus of Shelton State Community College. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday, May 14. Matinee performances will be at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays, Wednesday, and Saturday, May 21. A pay-what-you-can dress rehearsal will be presented on Thursday, May 12, at 7:30 p.m., a portion of proceeds benefitting the Charlie Dennis Memorial Scholarship Fund.

More details are available at www.theatretusc.com or at 205.391.2277.
