Town and Country Players of Buckingham, PA announces auditions for the John Patrick comedy Everybody Loves Opal, to be held February 28 from 7 to 10 PM, March 2, 11 to 2, and March 3, 6 to 9 PM at Bucks Senior Center, 700 Shady Retreat Road, Doylestown, PA.
Management wishes to emphasize that auditions are not being held at the T&C Theater.
No preparation is necessary. Auditions will be cold readings from the script.
Everybody Loves Opal tells the story of Opal Kronkie, a middle-aged recluse, who lives in general disarray in her tumbledown mansion at the edge of the municipal dump.Opal collects things-anything that can be toted home in her little red wagon.
Opal is also an optimist, for no matter how mean her lot-or her "friends", she responds with unfailing kindness and an abidingfaith in the goodness of human nature.
Into her rather strange world come Gloria, Bradford and Solomon, three purveyors of bogus perfume, on the lam from the authorities. Opal's home is the perfect hideout-and Opal, herself, might be the remedy for their shattered finances.
They decide that what she needs is plenty of insurance, a rapid demise, and three beneficiaries named Gloria, Bradford and Solomon.
Everybody Loves Opal will be presented at The Town and Country Players Theater 4158 York Road, Buckingham, PA 18912, May 10, 11, 12 (Matinee), 17, 18, 19 (Matinee), 24, and 25.
Everybody Loves Opal is to be directed by Ken Weigert and produced by Alana Caraccio
