This play is the first Act of two. It is witty, fast-paced and filled with

This is a simple and fast show. The music is easy to learn and sing. Many roles
we will be able to be flexible with rehearsal time unless we are rehearsing a
group number. If you ever wanted to try theatre this is your time to do it. Both
of these shows are geared for family fun. |

This play will be a challenge to the young actor. It touches on a piece of
American History that was vital not only for African Americans of that time but
also women. This could be a real challenge for the actor who wants to spread
their talent to the max.
6-8 Female African American roles available
3-6 Male African American roles available
2-4 Female roles of non African American decent available
6 Male roles of non African American decent available
There may be some roles available for a small vocal chorus which is essential to
the ambiance of the piece. |

DRAMA
CLUB Casting Philosophy: |
|
| |
|
We believe
that part of the educational process in
theatre, is learning how to audition. Even though we will
always try and use as many children as we can, it is not
always possible. Please have a conversation with your
child; prior to auditions about what it means to no be
chosen. If you would like help on this subject please do
not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to assist
you.
Technical Help: If you are a high school student interested in Technical
Theatre you can participate on various crews for The Drama Club as well as the
Main Stage Series. Please contact MLT at 513.425.7140 for more information or
email cshafor@middletownlyric .org for more information
