Open auditions for this heartwarming romantic comedy.

It’s 1956 and Hollywood has arrived in Natchez, Mississippi with its brightest stars to film Raintree County. Meanwhile at Clemmie’s, a Natchez tea room, the widowed proprietor who has a fascination with movies and a secret admirer, oversees her own cast of characters: Tootie, her take charge friend; Jo Beth, a former beauty queen; Glease, a man more comfortable with women than macho men, and Marjorie, an unethical social climber. Competition for a small role in the movie brings out the best and worst of these memorable characters. Twists, turns and revelations lead Clemmie to trade a moment of fame for love and the chance to impact the lives of people dear to her.

Characters needed:
CLEMMIE – widowed proprietor of a small tea room, 59
TOOTIE – the take-charge kind of person in any crowd, 35 to 50
GLEASE – a modest man more comfortable in the company of women, 50s
JO BETH – a beauty queen wannabe prone to disasters, 25 to 35
MARJORIE – a socially prominent lady-about-town, 30 to 50
