Come act with us!
Join us for our fall play, “See You in Bells” by Edie Claire, which will be performed on November 5-8 and 12-15.
The mother of the bride has every reason to panic. Three generations of Bower family weddings – three inexplicable disasters. Now, with the church building falling down, half the wedding party AWOL, and the bride’s sisters still fighting over what happened at the last family wedding, daughter Jenna’s nuptials seem hopelessly doomed. But peacemaking brother Brian is determined to end the sisters’ feud – and the family curse. All he needs is to stage a rip-roaring intervention . . . and pray it turns divine!
Auditions will be held at Lampeter Church of the Brethren on Sunday, August 23, between 1:00 and 6:00 pm. Those auditioning should come prepared to read from the script and may arrive early to complete the audition form and look over the script selections. Audition times may be requested by emailing the director, Glenn Grubb, at promiseplayersproductions@gmail.com.
