AUDITIONS FOR MOON OVER BUFFALO COMING TO SOUTH SUBURBAN COLLEGE

SOUTH HOLLAND, IL–The PAC Rats Theatre Company of South Suburban College will hold open auditions for the Ken Ludwig comedy, Moon Over Buffalo. The auditions will take place on July 9th and 10th beginning at 7:00 p.m.  Readings will be held in the Kindig Performing Arts Center on the Main Campus at 15800 S. State Street in South Holland, IL.

Auditions are open to community members as well as SSC students.  Appointments and prepared audition materials are not necessary.  Auditioners will read from scenes, which will be available at the time of auditions.  Copies of the script are on reserve in the SSC library.  Everyone is welcome to attend both auditions.  The rehearsal and performance schedule will be available at the time of auditions.

Director Sandra Wagner, of Lansing, will cast four women and four men, ranging in age from 18 to 70 plus.  Wagner is planning evening rehearsals.  Performances are scheduled for September 19, 20 and 26, 27 and 28, 2014.

It’s 1953 and Charlotte and George Hay, an acting couple, are on tour in Buffalo, NY with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac and Noel Coward’s Private Lives. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance.  Mistaken identities, a deaf grandmother, sword fights and backstage romance–what else can go wrong?

In addition to acting talent, the PAC Rats are also looking for volunteers who want to try their hands backstage.  “Putting on a play takes a lot of hands," said Wagner. "We hope that those who aren't ready to step on stage will enjoy painting and building scenery, sewing costumes or making props."
