Black Swamp Players casting new play ‘Mimi’s Famous Company’

From BLACK SWAMP PLAYERS

The Black Swamp Players will hold auditions for Nina Wright’s “Mimi’s Famous Company” on Wednesday, April 13 and  Thursday, April 14, 6-9 p.m. both dates, at 115 E. Oak Street, Bowling Green. 

Those auditioning for the play should prepare a 1-2 minute monologue and be prepared to cold read from the script.

The play calls for a cast of six actors: three females (teens through 40s) and three males (20s through 40s).

“Mimi’s Famous Company” is a wicked one-act comedy that blends “The Bad Seed” and bad parenting with one teen-ager’s misguided pursuit of perfection.

“Mimi’s Famous Company” will be performed June 17, 18, 24, and 25 at 8 p.m. and June 19 and 26 at 2 p.m. All performances will take place at 115 E. Oak Street, Bowling Green.

The production is being directed by Allie Sanders. Wright’s play is the first winner of Black Swamp Players’ Telling Stories Playwrighting Contest, which pairs local writers with a director and workshops an original script through rehearsal to production. 

The play was given a staged reading at the Toledo Repertoire Theatre in 2019.

Tickets are $20 for general admission and will be available online at a future date.
