Garrison Players to Hold Auditions for Crimes of the Heart

ROLLINSFORD—
Garrison Players will hold auditions for its October show, Beth Henley’s “Crimes of the Heart,” on Wednesday, Aug. 11and Thursday, Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Garrison Players Arts Center, Route 4 in Rollinsford. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. There are roles for two adult males and four adult females. The play will be directed by Debra Martuscello Wiley. Performance dates are Oct. 22-24, and 29-31.
This Pulitzer Prize-winner is a deeply touching and funny play about three eccentric sisters from a small Southern town rocked by scandal when Babe, the youngest, shoots her husband. Humor and pathos abound as the sisters unite with an intense young lawyer to save Babe from a murder charge, and overcome their family’s painful past.
