SSCC Theatre will host open auditions for the upcoming production “Biloxi Blues” from 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, in the Edward K. Daniels Auditorium on Southern State Community College’s Central Campus, 100 Hobart Drive, Hillsboro. “Biloxi Blues” was written by Neil Simon and will be directed by Rainee Angles with performance dates set for Nov. 11-13.
Auditions are open to both students and to the general public. Please visit www.sscctheatre.com/auditions for more information, including tips on preparing for an audition.
“Biloxi Blues” tell the story of 20-year-old Eugene Morris Jerome, a Brooklynite who is drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II. As a young Army recruit, Eugene must go through basic training and learn about Life and Love—with a capital L—along with some harsher lessons, while stationed at boot camp in Biloxi, Miss., in 1943. “Biloxi Blues” won playwright Neil Simon a Tony Award for Best Play in 1985.
Those planning to audition should:
• Prepare a one- to two-minute monologue (similar in character to the desired role or from the actual script);
• Be prepared to read from the script; and
• Bring a resume and/or headshot if available.
Those interested in working on the stage crew should also attend auditions to fill out paperwork and complete and interview.
