by Carolyn Todd 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Audition notice for Southern Fried Nuptials by Osborne & Eppler at Independence Community Theater! Auditions will be held on Wednesday, January 4th and Thursday, January 5th both from 7pm - 9pm. The auditions will consist of cold reads from the script. You may prepare a monologue if you would like. Callbacks if needed. Auditions will be held at 6652 Brecksville Road Independence, OH 44131 on the second floor. Looking to cast the following characters: Harlene Frye – 30s/40s, the oldest child of Dorothy Frye. She’s getting married this weekend to Atticus. Maybe. Sammy Jo Frye – 30s, the middle child. She’s pretty sure she’s the perfect one. She is a wife and mother. Dewey Frye, Jr. – 20s, Dorothy’s youngest child. Some folks would say he’s one step short of a square dance, but he’s just dancing to his own tune. He won the lottery and all he bought was a new phone. Carter Canfield – 30s, Harlene’s smooth-talking ex-flame. He's a handsome TV-star and he knows it. Vester Pickens – 60s, a retired gentleman who made his fortune in the pickle business. Synopsis of show: Harlene Frye is going to marry her childhood sweetheart this weekend….assuming the typical Frye family hijinks don’t derail the wedding! Harlene and Atticus’s future together is threatened when the bride-to-be’s awful ex-flame shows up with information she doesn’t want her finance finding out about. And Harlene’s not the only Frye keeping secrets: Sammy Jo refuses to tell her family she’s moving even though all her bags are already packed. As if that isn’t enough, Dewey can’t figure out why people keep on asking him to give his sister away and busybody Ozella Meeks has somehow ended up as the wedding coordinator. Will the Frye’s be able to get Harlene down the aisle in one piece? A bighearted comedy about family – Southern-style
