BY BRAD STOREY –
There is an unusual scheduling of plays this fall at the Ouachita Little Theatre. The Board of Directors has approved the production of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie to be staged from November 7-10.
This show will immediately follow the last weekend of Bell, Book and Candle, OLT’s regularly scheduled fall/Halloween play, directed by Melanie Buck.
The Glass Menagerie is a serious drama and will be directed by Brad Storey. The cast has only four roles – A woman in her forties and 3 more persons, 2 men and a woman in her late teens or twenties. Ages may vary some, but the older woman plays the mother of two of the younger performers.
Auditions will be held on Thursday, September 4, from 7-9 p.m. and on Saturday, September 6, from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. All are welcome and encouraged to try out. No previous experience or memorized material is required to audition.
These two productions will be followed in December with the staging of Little Women, to be directed by Mike Martin. All together, three plays in three months packs a lot of varied entertainment into the OLT’s fall schedule.
As always, if the stage is not for you, we still have plenty to do. If you are interested in any aspect of the theatre, contact us at 479-243-0186 or stop by the theatre at 610 Mena Street.
