“Upcoming Auditions for Father of the Bride and The Spitfire Grill, presented by The Majestic Theatre. Come be part of these exciting productions!”

On Tuesday May 31st at 7pm and Monday, June 6th at 7pm adults and teens 15+ are invited to audition for the comedy play Father of The Bride.

Father of the Bride:

Mr. Banks learns that one of the young men he has seen occasionally about the house is about to become his son-in-law. Daughter Kay announces the engagement out of nowhere. Mrs. Banks and her sons are happy, but Mr. Banks is in a dither. The groom-to-be, Buckley Dunstan, appears on the scene and Mr. Banks realizes that the engagement is serious. Buckley and Kay don’t want a “big” wedding—just a simple affair with a few friends! We soon learn, however, that the “few” friends idea is out. Then trouble really begins. The guest list grows larger each day, a caterer is called in, florists, furniture movers and dressmakers take over, and the Banks household is soon caught in turmoil—not to mention growing debt. When Kay, in a fit of temper, calls off the wedding, everyone’s patience snaps. But all is set right, and the wedding (despite more last-minute crises) comes off beautifully. In the end, the father of the bride is a happy, proud man, glad that the wedding is over, but knowing too that it was worth all the money and aggravation to start his daughter off so handsomely on the road to married life. A comedy by Caroline Francke

This show is directed by Carole Neveux. Performances will be held on July 29, 30 & 31.

The Spitfire Grill, A Musical:

Based on the film of the same name. Percy Talbot has just been released from a five year prison sentence for manslaughter. She is seeking a place for a fresh start, and based on a page from an old travel book, travels to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. She finds a job at the Spitfire Grill, but quickly finds that the town itself is in despair. The music is inspired by rural folk music traditions indigenous to Wisconsin and Southern Appalachia (in other words, it has a folk/country feel.
