Bigfork Community Players hold auditions for ‘Steel Magnolias’

The Bigfork Community Players will produce Robert Harling’s “Steel Magnolias” this spring. 

Auditions will be held starting at 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 10 at the rehearsal facility at 33606 Quarter Circle Way, Bigfork, in the large building at the top of the hill.

The witty repartee that fills the air of Truvy’s beauty shop in Chinquapin, Louisiana, provides a penetrating view into the lives of a few women who define the character of this small, southern town. With Truvy’s guidance Annelle, a lost soul, finds her way and is ultimately saved. Shelby, the girl with something special, willingly forfeits it all for something greater. Clairee, the recent widow of a powerful man, becomes a force in her own right. Ouiser, possessed of a sharp wit and “more money than God,” provides an ongoing social commentary. M’Lynn experiences and reconciles the loss of that held most dear. And we learn that, in both the best and worst of times, in both pain and pleasure, there is comedy. Wild hilarious comedy.

Michele Mank will direct the production. The play runs April 19-21 and April 26-28.

At the audition, plan to stay for the whole session and read lines. Those auditioning do not have to prepare anything but bring a calendar of every potential schedule conflict from now through April.
