[NEohioPAL] Fwd: Workshop Players Show Change/Auditions

[Workshop Players]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Workshop Players has found it necessary to
cancel its production of "Musical of Musicals, the Musical."   In its place,
we will be presenting "Christmas Belles" by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and
Jamie Wooten, the authors of "Dearly Beloved."  This sequel is a
laugh-filled holiday show.

Director Dave Mackeigan is seeking 4 men ages 20 to 50 and 7 women ages 20
and up.

Auditions will be held Monday, September 29 and Tuesday, September 30 from 7
to 9 p.m. at the Workshop Players Theatre, located at 44820 Middle Ridge Rd
in Amherst

Performances will be November 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30; December 5, 6, 7,
12, 13, 14.

THE STORY: A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in
this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa,
a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator.
    It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, and the Futrelle
Sisters—Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye—are not exactly in a festive mood. A
cranky Frankie is weeks overdue with her second set of twins. Twink,
recently jilted and bitter about it, is in jail for inadvertently burning
down half the town. And hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying
to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into
chaos. But things are not looking too promising: Miss Geneva, the ousted
director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her
attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus—played by
Frankie's long-suffering husband, Dub—is passing a kidney stone. One of the
shepherds refuses to watch over his flock by night without pulling his
little red wagon behind him. And the entire cast is dropping like flies due
to food poisoning from the Band Boosters' Pancake Supper. And when Frankie
lets slip a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades, all
hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost, even with an Elvis
impersonator at the manger. But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding
sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program
the citizens of Fayro will never forget.
