Open Auditions For A Comedy Take center stage! The Towle Theater is pleased to announce auditions for their upcoming comedy Secrets of a Soccer Mom by Kathleen Clark and directed by John Buranosky. Auditions are on Monday, June 13 at 6:30pm at the Towle Theater-5205 Hohman Avenue, Hammond, IN. They are looking three strong female actors, 1 in her 20’s, 1 in her 30’s and 1 in her 40’s. Allison - 20’s, the athlete and most troubled of the three, Lynn - 30’s, the workaholic, Nancy - 40’s, a feisty former model who wants to try her hand at photography. All ethnicities and types strongly encouraged to audition as there are no character restrictions. Please prepare a 1 minute contemporar y comedic monologue. You may be asked to read from the script. All roles in the shows will be paid. Three engaging women reluctantly take the field in a mothers vs. sons soccer game. They intend to let the children win, but as the game unfolds they become intent on scoring. The competition ignites a fierce desire to recapture their youthful good-humor, independence and sexiness, paving the way toward a better understanding of themselves, their families and changes they need to make in their lives. Auditions will be held at the Towle Theater-5205 Hohman Avenue–Hammond, IN. Rehearsals will begin in late July and performances are September 9-11, 16-18, 22-25.
