Written by Alan Bailey and Ronnie Claire Edwards. Wedding Belles is set on a hot June afternoon in Eufala Springs, Texas. Four women in their 50's and 60's of the local garden club take a young orphan who is stranded at the bus stop under their wings. The young girl is set to marry her fiancee at the Justice of the Peace that afternoon and the garden club ladies jump in and plan an entire wedding for the girl. Characters include; Bobrita Tolliver- a good old girl; Glendine Slocumb- a petite firecracker; Violet Montgomery- a roundish woman who thinks of herself as frail; Laura Lee McInerny- confident and in charge; and Ima Jean Tatum- a little waif in her late teens. Michael Cochran will direct the production. Persual scripts are available at the theatre for a deposit of $10. Performances of Wedding Belles will be April 15-18, 22-25, 2010.

General Audition Notes Auditions are usually held on a Monday and Tuesday evening. Adult shows audition at 7 PM. Youth shows audition at 5:00 PM. Auditionees may check out a perusal script 1-2 weeks ahead of time to become familiar with the play. At the auditions the director will assign parts at random and have auditionees stand onstage and read these scenes looking for a sense of character, expression, diction, vocal projection and general acting ability. They might also be asked to participate in some simple theatre games or improvisations. Some auditionees from Monday and Tuesday might be called back for an additional audition. If you are auditioning for a musical you should sing one of the songs from the show. If you are unable to attend the scheduled audition date please contact the theatre to see if there is an alternate audition time when other auditionees will be present. Alternate audition times are not guaranteed. We are making a concerted effort not to have "private" auditions for roles. Perusal scripts for all shows may be checked out for three days with a $10 Youth script refundable deposit and a $10 -$25 Adult script refundable deposit.

Casting for roles are based on a variety of factors in addition to sense of character, expression, diction, vocal projection and general acting abilitiy. Casting can be also determined by the heights and ages of performers when compared with others who have auditioned. MHT believes strongly in color blind casting and seeks to cast new people as often as possible. All roles are available at auditions. Preference is also given to actors who will accept any role! Should an actor be unable to perform every effort will be made to recast the role from those actors already cast in the show.
