MPI Announces Auditions for SEEING STARS IN DIXIE

mpi_logoDirector Norma Niinemets will hold auditions for the Mariemont Players production of SEEING STARS IN DIXIE,a sassy Southern comedy by Ron Osborn, at the Walton Creek Theater, 4101 Walton Creek Road (just east of Mariemont) from 7:00pm until 9:00pm on Monday, May 12th and Tuesday, May 13th, 2014.

It’s 1956 and Hollywood has arrived in Natchez, Mississippi with its brightest stars to film Raintree County. Meanwhile at Clemmie’s, a Natchez tea room, the widowed proprietor who has a fascination with movies and a secret admirer, oversees her own cast of characters: Tootie, her take-charge friend; Jo Beth, a former beauty queen; Glease, a man more comfortable with women than macho men, and Marjorie, an unethical social climber. Competition for a small role in the movie brings out the best and worst of these memorable characters. Twists, turns and revelations lead Clemmie to trade a moment of fame for love and the chance to impact the lives of people dear to her.

The cast requires four females, ages 30 to 60 and one male, age 50 to 60. Auditions will consist of readings from the script.

The production will be staged July 11th through July 27th, 2014.

For additional information, email the director at nini1@zoomtown.com or phone 513-232-4819.
