The Century Theatre Guild will be holding auditions on Jan. 4 for Staff Room, an award-winning new play by Joan Burrows and directed by Jo Phenix.
Casting will be at 10am at Century Church Theatre, 72 Trafalgar Road, Hillsburgh.
The play is set in a school staff room, in which characters meet, gossip and complain in ways sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, often desperate, and always entertaining.
The stories deal with work, love, divorce, teenage infatuation, scandal, discrimination, and of course, pompous administrators. The play provides a good challenge for actors. There are 15 different story lines, and 55 characters, so actors will play multiple roles.
The minimum requirements are four men and four women, ages 22 to 65, although more than the eight may be cast.
Also required are two teenage boys, and two teenage girls.
Rehearsals will start the week of April 1, and will be on Sunday afternoons and one evening during the week (to be finalized with the cast). Production dates are May 23 to June 1. Those interested but unable to make the audition date should call Jo Phenix at 519-855-4586.
