TREE CITY PLAYERS
announces that they will be holding auditions for 

OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD
a play by
Timberlake Wertenbaker

Directed by 
Alex J. Nine

Auditions for Our Country's Good will be Sun July 14 and Mon July 15 at 7:00. 
 At the Kent Stage.  175 E. Main Street in Kent, Ohio.  

We are looking for 6-8 men and 4-6 women, of all ages.  Please come prepared 
to read from script.

Synopsis of the Play:

It is the true story of the first theatrical performance in Australia.  In 
June 1789 in the penal colony that was later to become the city of Sydney, a 
marine lieutenant decides to put on a play to celebrate the King's birthday.  
He cast the play with the English convicts who populate this distant 
Australian prison camp.  Few of them can read, let alone act, and the play is 
being produced against the background of food shortages and barbaric 
punishments.  Brilliantly juxtaposed against the civilizing influence of 
theatrical endeavor.  Not only a thought provoking production but one with 
humor and heart.
