SEEING STARS IN DIXIE is directed by Norma Niinemets, produced by Norma and Tom Niinemets, and features Ann Baker as Tootie,  Merritt Beischel as JoBeth, Sue Ann Stein as Marjorie, Arny Stoller as Glease and Anne Wrider as Clemmie, and features Chris Cullen in a cameo appearance and Jeffrey Spadafore as the pre-show announcer.
Performances will be at 8:00pm on July 11th, July 12th, July 18th, July 19th and July 25th; at 2:00pm on July 13th and July 27th; at 7:30pm on July 17th and July 24th; at 2:00pm and 7:00pm on July 20th; and at 3:00pm & 8:00pm on July 26th.

    Female, 25-35 yrs old
    Range: G#3 – D5
  • CRYSTAL, RONNETTE and CHIFFON African-American street urchins, acting as the occasional Greek Chorus. Young, hip, and smart, these girls are the only ones who have a grip on reality.
    Female, 20-35 yrs old
    Range: Ab3 – F5

    Range: G2 – F4

    Male, 25-35 yrs old
    Range: A2 – G4
  • THE PLANT (AUDREY II) Puppet. An anthropomorphic cross between a Venus flytrap and an avocado, the plant has an appetite for human flesh that is appeased by Seymour. Puppeteer doubles as other sizes of the plant.
  • VOICE OF THE PLANT An actor/vocalist located offstage. The voice is that of a conniving, street-smart ‘villain.’ A funky Rhythm and Blues voice is best.
