Church Hill Theatre (CHT) proudly announces that auditions for Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean – a two act comedy/drama by Ed Graczyk will be held at Church Hill Theatre on Saturday August 11th from 10 am to 1 pm, again on Monday August 13th from 6 to 9 pm, and on Wednesday August 15th from 6 to 9 pm. The show is to be directed by Michael C. Whitehill. Main Stage Performances will run weekends from November 2nd through November 18th.
This play explores the intimate lives and individual disabilities of six Texas women, the “Disciples of James Dean” from their teens as rabid fans of James Dean and all artifacts from the movie Giant, to their fan club’s 20th reunion. Most things have changed but the women pick up after the passage of time as though time hasn’t. Each character must define herself in her past context and then redefine herself in the clearer light of the current truth….a painful but oddly heartwarming process of denial and discovery. Some have said these are some of the finest roles for women in the modern theatre.
The cast comprises roles for 6 women in their mid thirties, (age 36 or so), 2 teenage women (16 or so) and 1 young man of 16 or so. Alternative casting and age groups will be considered based on the composition of those auditioning. Actors may expect cold readings from the script with some surprises thrown in for fun.
