Beck Center is thrilled to announce auditions for *WORLD CLASS CARE*, a *world premiere* comedy by Cleveland's very own Eric Coble, and directed by Cleveland's very own Eric Schmiedl. *WORLD CLASS CARE *tells the story, set only slightly in the future, where two healthcare behemoths own every parcel of land in the City of Cleveland except Mildred Grisbgy's humble abode.... and *each* are scrambling to convince her to sell. Both a raucous comedy and a cautionary tale, Coble's keen eye for the darkly funny shines through. *Open Call *auditions will be By Appointment on both *Sunday, May 31st *(starting at 5PM) and *Monday, June 1st* (starting at 6PM.) Callbacks are currently slated for Wednesday, June 3rd in the evening. You may obtain your appointment by calling the Beck Patron Services desk at *216-521-2540* during normal business hours.
