SYNOPSIS: All the ladies who are “anybody” in Chinquapin, Louisiana come to Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done. Helped by her eager new assistant, Annelle (who is not sure whether or not she is still married), the outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoo and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader, M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.”
Filled with hilarious repartee and several acerbic verbal collisions, the comedy moves toward tragedy when, in the second act, the spunky Shelby risks her life to go through with a dangerous pregnancy. Confronted with the harshness of mortality, the others draw together to find strength – and love – in the wake of tragedy.

GODSPELL
Audition Dates: TBA
Performance Dates: February 19th- March 7th, 2027
Music and Lyrics By Stephen Schwartz
SYNOPSIS: Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden); and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."
A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.
DIRECTED BY: Kari Hatfield (Guest Director)
CHARACTERS:
Jesus- High energy, charming, funny, gentle but with strength. He is the sort of person others instinctively follow.
Male
Vocal range top: G#4
Vocal range bottom: Db3
John The Baptist/Judas- He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He is both Jesus' lieutenant and most ardent disciple and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic, but in more of an overt revolutionary way. He is the most "serious" and intellectual of the group, though as with all the actors, he must still possess a good sense of physical comedy.
Male
Vocal range top: E4
Vocal range bottom: C3
Nick- Very high energy. Impish and playful.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B2
Telly- Not the brightest in the bunch, he is a little slow on the uptake. But there is a great sweetness and innocence about him. Because he sings "All Good Gifts" he must be a very good singer.
Vocal range top: C4
Vocal range bottom: G2
George- The comedian, the class clown. The guy who can do a hundred voices and imitations.
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Anna Maria- A bit of a tomboy, but basically open and sweet. Perhaps the youngest of the group. She is the first of the group to commit to following Jesus in the song "Day by Day."
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: G#3
Lindsay- The confident one, the show-off. The first one to volunteer, sometimes she jumps in before she really understands what's going on.
Vocal range top: C#6
Vocal range bottom: G#3
Uzo- The shy one. Sometimes a little slow to get things, but when she does, she commits all the way. Has an "earth mother" kind of warmth to her.
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: A3
Morgan- Sassy and slightly cynical, the most urban of the group. Also the "sexy" one, but her sexiness contains a large element of put-on, in the manner of Mae West or Madonna (who in fact once played this role.)
Vocal range top: F5
Vocal range bottom: E3
Celisse- The female equivalent of the class clown.
Vocal range top: A5
Vocal range bottom: A3
