The UL-Lafayette Department of Performing Arts will hold auditions for their spring production of Five Women Wearing The Same Dress on Thursday, January 15th and Friday, January 16th. The auditions will be held in McLaurin Hall (on the UL-Lafayette campus) at 7 pm each evening. The cast includes 5 women and 1 man. Auditioners should prepare a 30 to 60 second comedic monologue.
The play is set in the South. During an ostentatious wedding reception at a Knoxville, Tennessee, estate, five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom, each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. They are Frances, a painfully sweet but sheltered fundamentalist; Mindy, the cheerful, wise-cracking lesbian sister of the groom; Georgeanne, whose heartbreak over her own failed marriage triggers outrageous behavior; Meredith, the bride's younger sister whose precocious rebelliousness masks a dark secret; and Trisha, a jaded beauty whose die-hard cynicism about men is called into question when she meets Tripp, a charming bad-boy usher to whom there is more than meets the eye. As the afternoon wears on, these five very different women joyously discover a common bond in this wickedly funny, irreverent and touching celebration of the women's spirit.
Production dates for the show are March 4th through the 8th. For more information, contact the UL-Lafayette Department of Performing Arts at 482-6357.
