At the Franklin Opera House, 316 Central Street (the Franklin City Hall), on Thursday, January 29, at 7 PM, and if that date and time is inconvenient, then again on Tuesday, February 3, at 7 PM, Franklin Footlight Theatre is holding open auditions to cast five one-act plays to be staged in April.

These plays will require the talents of male and female actors, ranging in age from 18 to 80. Under the guidance of both mentored directors and seasoned veterans, these offerings run the gamut of hilarious satire to thought-provoking drama, eliciting gales of laughter, soft chuckles, a few tears, and even some cerebral introspection.

Anyone interested in applying must be available for all rehearsals, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings (beginning Thursday, February 5) and for the three performances on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 10, 11, and 12. If cast, membership in Franklin Footlight Theatre will be required at a nominal fee.

With such a wide spectrum of material, this is a great chance for anyone wishing to perform on stage to try out alongside those who have performed either once or many times before. All experience levels are welcome.

Come be a part of the tradition of community theater!
