CASTING CALL: 2/20 & 2/21/11 for PLAY "Murder in the Magnolias"

The Hartsville Community Players have announced plans for auditions for their Spring 2011 production of “Murder in the Magnolias.”  Tryouts will be held Sunday, Feb. 20, from 3 to 5 p.m., and Monday, Feb. 21, 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Center Theater in Hartsville.  Casting needs are for six men and six women ages 17 and up.

“Murder in the Magnolias” is a murder mystery that parodies characters and plots from almost every Southern play imaginable. The farce pays special tribute to that most noted and loved Southern playwright, Tennessee Williams. Set in a dilapidated Mississippi mansion named Belle Acres, “Murder in the Magnolias” boasts a cast of demented, dysfunctional characters sure to leave you in stitches.

Characters include Colonel Rance Chickenwing, Blanche Du Blank, Princess Lotta Kargo, Sheriff Billy Jerk, southern hound dogs, a VooDoo Woman, and an obligatory menacing hurricane.

Murder in the Magnolias was written by Tim Kelly, a former drama critic, screenwriter and journalist.

Performances by the Hartsville Community Players are scheduled for May 6 and May 7 at the Center Theater.  For information on this event and others go to: www.hartsvillecommunityplayers.org or visit Hartsville Community Players on facebook.
