CARLSBORG — Readers Theatre Plus, as it prepares to stage a set of original short stories in October, will hold auditions Wednesday evening.
Men and women actors of all ages and experience levels are encouraged to join the tryouts at 6 p.m. at the Lapis Lazuli Studio, 803 Carlsborg Road, just across the street from the Carlsborg Post Office.
Directors Ric Munhall and John Cory will conduct the auditions for Readers Theatre Plus’ production, which will showcase a variety of short, lighthearted comedies.
“If you have ever thought about getting involved and performing on stage, there will be roles for actors in lots of scenes with plenty of lines,” said board member Paul Martin.
“Other roles may require only one scene and a couple of lines,” he added.
The short pieces include “The Something Special Coffeehouse,” in which tensions percolate as two executives try the patience of a coffee shop cashier, and “The Cinderella Story,” which has parts for eight performers.
Readers Theatre Plus will present these stories on two weekends: Oct. 2-4 and Oct. 9-11 at the Guy Cole Convention Center, in Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave.
As with all Readers Theatre Plus productions, the show will benefit a local nonprofit organization to be announced.
