The Hollow
An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell,
arguably Christie’s finest comic grande dame. Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the center of the trouble when, assembled in one place,
we find his dull but devoted wife, Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor, Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star, Veronica.
Also visiting are Edward and Midge, whose romantic assertions are likewise thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grows
so does the list of potential suspects when Cristow is shot dead. Nearly everyone has a motive, but only one of them did the deed.

Show Synopsis:
The three Magrath sisters are back together in their hometown of Hazelhurst, Mississippi in the mid 1970's. Lenny, the eldest, never left Hazelhurst as she is the caretaker of the sisters’ cantankerous Old Granddaddy. Meg, the middle sister, left home to pursue stardom as a singer in Los Angeles, but has, so far, only found happiness at the bottom of a bottle. And Babe, the youngest, has just been arrested for shooting her husband. Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart”.
Character Breakdown:
All roles are open and unpaid. Descriptions are of character appearance and temperament, not age of actors. The show requires 5 women* and 2 men, of any ethnicity.
*The role of Chick will be double cast and will also be swing for the 3 sisters. Two women will share the role and perform in half of the shows. The shows in which they are not performing the role of Chick, they will be on standby for the other actresses.
Lenny (30) the oldest McGrath sister, caretaker of her Granddaddy, homely, not worldly.
Meg (27) the middle McGrath sister, the black sheep of the family with a wild side. Left home to pursue a singing career but failed. Role requires singing.
Babe (24) the youngest sister, vivacious and sunny on the outside, but deeply troubled on the inside. Out of jail on bail for shooting her abusive lawyer husband. Ability to play saxophone is a plus but not required.
Chick/Swing (29) the sisters’ first cousin who has claimed her place in small town society and is very concerned with appearances.
Barnette (26) Babe’s lawyer, awkward and falling in love with Babe while trying to bring down her husband.
Doc (30) Meg’s old boyfriend, quiet, stoic, walks with a slight limp from a wild night he and Meg shared in a hurricane.
Auditions will have cold readings from the script.
If an actor is interested in being considered for Meg, they will be asked to sing the chorus of "Lean on Me" or the chorus of another personal favorite song from the 1970s.
You must show proof of vaccination against Covid-19 in order to audition. Rehearsals will be conducted masked. Performances will be unmasked.

Tuesday, October 11 and Thursday, October 13. 7-9:30 pm (last check in at 9 pm)

Performances: February 10 - February 25, 2023, Fridays through Sundays.
*Closing Saturday performance is a matinee.
A moving and celebratory musical play in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of black history and identity
as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South to stay with her aunt after her brother is killed in Brooklyn.
Hats are everywhere, in exquisite variety, and the characters use hats to tell stories concerning everything from the etiquette of hats
to their historical and contemporary social functioning. There is a hat for every occasion, from flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms,
and the tradition of hats is traced back to African rituals and slavery and forward to the New Testament and current fashion.
The conclusion finds the standoffish young woman, whose cultural identity as a young black Brooklyn woman has been so at odds
with the more traditional and older Southern blacks, embracing hats and their cultural significance as a part of her own fiercely independent identity.
