OLLI Players to Hold Auditions for Reading of 'Sinclair Lewis Work'
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The OLLI Players, part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Berkshire Community College (OLLI at BCC), welcome all to audition for a reading of "It Can't Happen Here."
The reading is adapted from Sinclair Lewis's novel and play, which relates the rise of a dictator in America in the 1930s and its impact on society at national, local, and individual levels.
Auditions will be held on Wednesday, March 18 from 9 a.m.–noon and Thursday, March 19 from 1–4 p.m. at BCC's main campus, located at 1350 West Street, Pittsfield, in room G-12. Visitors should park in the visitor parking lot and walk across the driveway to the Susan B. Anthony Building.
The OLLI Players are seeking 15 adult actors of different ages and genders, each of whom will play multiple roles. Copies of the script will be provided at the audition, and audition sheets will be furnished. If you have a resume, please bring it with you.
After the actors have been selected, approximately 10 rehearsals will be held from mid-March through Saturday, April 18. A reading of the full-length script will take place on Sunday, April 19 (time to be announced).
