Dearly Departed is about a family who lives “somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line” and the comedy revolves around how the rather dysfunctional family deals with the patriarch’s death. You may even recognize some of the family members –they seem to exist in most families! The knee-slapping comedy is contagious. 

Auditions for the opening play in our newly remodeled theater will be held Tues. April 10 and Wed. April 11 beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the theater, 1406 N. Market St. The play is entitled “Dearly Departed” and calls for 15 cast members, 7 men and 8 women. Actors may range in age from 18- 70+. Two of the men’s parts have NO lines, and 2 of the women’s parts have very few lines. Performances will be June 1, 2 and 3.
