[NEohioPAL] Reminder: Auditions for "Trouble in Mind" at Tri-C Metro this week.

[Gloor, Fred]

Tri-C Metro Theatre announces auditions for:

 

 

"Trouble in Mind"

By Alice Childress

Directed by Michael Oatman

 

Making its stage debut in 1955, Trouble in Mind is a race-relations dramedy that very nearly made Alice Childress the first black woman playwright to have a show produced on Broadway. The story details the social and psychological pressures a mixed-race troupe of actors faces while prepping a well-meaning but visibly stereotyped anti-lynching melodrama for its Broadway debut.

 

Auditions will be held Sept. 13 and 14. 7-10 p.m. in the Studio Theatre - MTA 10

2900 Community College Ave.
Cleveland, OH 44115

Dress to move; be prepared to read from the script.

Production dates: November 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10 at 8 p.m. and November 4 and 11 at 2 p.m.
