Casting Performers for "Steel Magnolias" Play

Singers needed for the "Steel Magnolias" show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: PLAY – The action is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. Filled with hilarious repartee and not a few acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby (who is a diabetic) risks pregnancy and forfeits her life. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others, but also draws on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad. Additional info: A few things to note: Monologues must be memorized and kept to 60 seconds or less. Time limit will be enforced. Be prepared to completely fill out the rehearsal calendar at your audition with any and all conflicts that may arise during rehearsal. Be clear and specific on your conflicts. Any conflicts reported after casting may result in a change of role or require withdrawal from the show. A tentative rehearsal schedule is attached below. Please know that this is subject to change based on need & availability of cast members. Performances are January 16-24. There will not be double-casting therefore actors must be available for all performances. Callbacks held by invitation November 22. Prepare a monologue or poem cut to 60 seconds or less. Time limit will be enforced. Bring a recent headshot – 4×6 color.
