Auditions
The Cemetery Club
Newnan Theatre Company is excited to announce auditions for The Cemetery Club by Ivan Menchell.
Auditions will be Sunday and Monday, February 2 and 3, from 7 – 9 pm, at Newnan Theatre Company, 24 First Avenue in Newnan.
The Cemetery Club will be directed by NTC veteran Terri Whitley and will be the April show in NTC’s 47th season, The Amethyst Tour. It will be presented on the Julie Hunter Marchese Theatre Blackbox stage April 17-20 and 24-27, 2025 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows start at 8 PM and Sunday shows start at 3 PM).
The Cemetery Club tells the story of three widows who meet for tea once a month and then accompany one another to the local cemetery where their husbands are buried. Like their canasta and mahjong groups, they are an informal club. But there are rules, just not ones written down or often spoken.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script.
Dates: Sunday, February 2 & Monday, February 3, 2025
Time: 7pm - 9pm
Location: Newnan Theatre Company - 24 First Ave, Newnan, GA 30263
