Permian Playhouse announces auditions
The Permian Playhouse is announcing auditions for the final show of the
season, the hit Harry Chapin musical, Cotton-Patch Gospel.
This show has been highly acclaimed by critics and the public alike.
This award-winning musical drama is a leg-slappin', toe-tappin', hand-clappin'
hoe-down of a story that retells the Gospels of Matthew and John translated
into present-day Southern vernacular. It brings the far-away places of
Nazareth, Jerusalem, and Bethlehem closer to home _ Atlanta and Valdosta,
Georgia.
Cotton-Patch Gospel will perform May 26, 27 and June 2, 3, 9-11.
Auditions will be held today and Thursday, April 5-6 _ both days at
7 p.m. Call-backs will occur Friday, April 7, at 7 p.m.
Young and old, male and female, are needed for the cast of 20-30. Scenes
will be available for cold-readings and music from the show will be provided.
People may provide their own prepared song if they wish.
Permian Playhouse members will note that Cotton-Patch Gospel is a replacement
for The Phantom of the Country Opera.
For more information contact the Permian Playhouse at 915-362-2808.
