Young Adult Actor Needed for SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS at Sunset Players

SSP_logoSunset Players seeks a 20s to 30s male for a role in our October regional premiere of SOUTHERN FRIED NUPTIALS.

The play takes place in present day Mississippi where Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend . . . assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Attie’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her fiancé finding out. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep on asking him to give his sister away and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Fryes be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family—Southern-style.

The actor will fill the role of either Harlene’s fiancé or her brother-in-law. Rehearsals start soon and this role needs to be filled this week.

Please contact danhawkins66@gmail.com for an appointment to audition.
