Northfield Arts Guild Arsenic and Old Lace Auditions

The Northfield Arts Guild announces Auditions for Arsenic and Old Lace

Poor Mortimer Brewster has problems.  Not only has he backed himself into a romantic corner, he has a menagerie of kooky relatives to contend with!  His sweet, old spinster aunts have taken up an ethically questionable hobby, one uncle thinks he’s Teddy Roosevelt, and the other uncle has had plastic surgery and now looks like Boris Karloff!  This dark comedy is sure to cause spontaneous laughter.

Arsenic and Old Lace features a quirky collection of characters for adults of all ages.  This is a fantastic show to feature the acting expertise of older actors!  As always, no prior experience is needed.  Those interested are asked to come to an open auditions at the Arts Guild Theater (at 411 West Third) on December 5th or 6th from 7-10pm each evening.  Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script.  Please sign up for an audition time slot at 507-645-8877.  Walk in auditions are also welcome.  Scripts of the play are available in the Arts Guild office (at 304 Division Street South) for short term check-out.

Rehearsals for Arsenic and Old Lace will start in January and performances will be on February 17, 18, 24 and 25 at 7:30pm and on February 19 and 26 at 2:00pm.  This play will be directed by Frank Blomgren.
