Casting Call: 'Steel Magnolias'

Sayreville Main Street Theatre Co. will be holding auditions for Robert Harling's "Steel Magnolias."

Auditions are at 7:30 on Nov. 23 and 25. Sides from the script will be provided.

In the world of Truvy's local-homegrown beauty salon, six very different women come together to share their secrets, fears and love for one another while engaging the audience in hysterical and neighborly gossip. From weddings to divorces, babies to funerals, new beginnings to happy endings, they share each moment in their lives with grace, determination, and perfectly coiffed hair. When tragedy strikes, it is in the familiar comfort of Truvy's salon where they seek the solace and support that carries them through.

Roles are:

Truvy 40-50 Owner of a small town beauty shop. She knows everyone’s business and shares it with anyone who will listen. She always has advice for you, and they often come in the form of country sayings.
Annelle
20s
Very shy hairdresser. She goes from a very soft-spoken person to a bible-loving Christian with her heart on her sleeve.
Clairee 60s Widow of the former mayor of Chinquapin. She is wealthy and also knows everyone’s business. She is the sarcastic member of the group. She loves to laugh and poke fun at the little things that others cry over. Best friends with Ouiser.
Shelby 20s Diabetic, prettiest girl in town, and loved by all. She has an odd relationship with her mother, and often rebels just for the sake of rebellion.
M’Lynn 50s Mother of Shelby. She is over-protective and finds the need to have a firm grasp on the world at all times. She is a busy woman who worries too much for her age.
Ouiser 60s Wealthy old biddy, but a loveably miserable lady. Her unique personality and sense of humor is a great relief in the serious scenes. Best friends with Clairee.

The show is produced by Pat Schladebeck and directed by Melanie Taylor.
