The Ellington Historical Society and Ellington Community Theatre are inviting community members to audition for "Ellington Epitaphs: A Family Mystery," an interactive cemetery tour that brings Ellington's past to life. During the tour, townspeople from the 1700s and 1800s return to share their fascinating, touching and sometimes surprising stories.
Auditions will be held Sunday, September 13, at 2 p.m. at the Nellie McKnight Museum. No acting experience is necessary. Organizers are looking for enthusiastic individuals who enjoy history and are willing to help tell the stories of the people who helped shape Ellington.
Those selected must be available for rehearsals on September 18 at 6 p.m.; September 26 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m.; October 2 at 6 p.m.; October 10 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m.; and October 16 from 6–9 p.m. A final practice and performance will take place Saturday, October 17, from 10 a.m.–7 p.m.
Come be part of this unique community event and help bring Ellington's history to life! For more information, email info@ellingtonhistsoc.org.
