McHenry County College Sets Auditions for Fall Play

The new Black Box Theatre at McHenry County College will host auditions for the fall production of “Almost, Maine” by John Cariani, and directed by Jay Geller.

“On a cold clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine.  As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways.  Knees are bruised.  Hearts are broken.  But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night's dream.” (Dramatic Play Services)

Auditions will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 25 and 26 in the new Black Box Theatre.  Callbacks will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28.  Please provide a 2-3 minute contemporary dramatic or comedic monologue or a reading will be provided.  Roles are available for five men and four women, ages 18-30.  Auditions are open to all students, faculty/staff and community members. Rehearsals will be held from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
