Two plays will be debuting in the fall in OCCCs theater. The plays are “In the Blood” by Suzan Lori Parks and “You Can’t take it With You” by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.
Rochelle Mosby, Arts & Humanities assistant, said auditions will be open to OCCC students, faculty, staff members and the community.
Rochelle Mosby said there is a play in September, and in October or November. Specific dates have not been set.
Ruth Charnay, Communications and the Arts department chair, said all who are interested in auditioning or participating in the plays can check the call-board in the Arts & Humanities department under Society of Performing Artists for audition times and dates.
Charnay said audition times and dates will be posted outside of the theater.
“We need students to pick up script books in the Arts & Humanities office, so they can read over and get familiar with the material,” Mosby said.
Charnay said script books for the plays are located in two different boxes in the Arts & Humanities department office on the center table.
Charnay said “In the Blood” is a social critique while “You Can’t Take it With You” is a classic comedy.
“They are two very diverse plays, and that is very exciting,” she said.
Brent Noel, full time theater instructor will be directing “In the Blood” and Jacque Hocking adjunct professor will be directing “You Can’t take it With Youm,” she said.
“The plays are both wonderful and different and will draw the audience in,” she said.
Robyn Roberts, nursing student, said, “With it being open to everyone, it could bring the community in, and will be good exposure for everyone.”
