Auditions Set for Feb. 28 & March 1

February 22, 2011 — We're thrilled to announce that auditions for the Sugar Creek Players' production of To Kill a Mockingbird will be Monday, February 28 and Tuesday, March 1. Auditions will held at the Vanity Theater (122 South Washington Street, Crawfordsville) and will begin at 6:30 p.m. each evening.


There are roles for at least 10 men and seven women; children's parts have been cast. Actors need not prepare in advance of auditions; we will read speeches and scenes from the play.


We're happy to be working with the marvelous script written by Christopher Sergel, which is based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Sergel penned two versions of this classic story. The script we're using includes a large role for an adult actress — Jean Louise Finch (Scout as an adult grown up and looking back at her childhood).


If necessary, call backs will be held Wednesday, March 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the Vanity Theater. A cast list will be posted here and at the Vanity Theater on Thursday, March 3. Our first cast meeting, pizza dinner, and read through will be held Sunday, March 6 at 5:00 p.m.


Production dates for the Sugar Creek Players' production of To Kill a Mockingbird are April 15-17 and April 21-23, 2011. The play is directed by Jim Amidon, produced by Jerry Bowie and Nancy Rodenbeck, and generously sponsored by Hoosier Heartland State Bank.
