Auditions for the first play of the season at the North Platte Community Playhouse will be heldAugust 10 and 11 at 7:00 p.m.  “She Stoops To Conquer” by Oliver Goldsmith includes a cast of eight men and four women.  There are parts for both older and younger actors and actresses.  Those desiring to audition should come to the Patty Birge Room prepared to read for a part, but will not need to bring any audition materials of their own.    They are welcome to come either Monday or Tuesday, or may come both nights if they desire.

The play includes a number of very interesting characters including Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle, their daughter Kate and step-son Tony Lumpkin.   Kate and her friend Constance Neville are being courted by Young Marlow and his side-kick Hastings.   A variety of bumbling servants complete the household.   Director Robert Allen would particularly like to encourage participation by actors and actresses in their late teens to early thirties for the two couples and the bad boy Tony Lumpkin.

The performances of “She Stoops To Conquer” will take place September 25, 26 and 27 andOctober 2, 3 and 4.  The Goldsmith play has been considered a classic since its first performances in London in 1776.  As a comedy of manners, it pokes fun of the customs and society practices of that day while providing timeless humor with keen insight into the human experience.
