Auditions for the Campus Community Players production of “Crimes of the Heart,” Beth Henley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy, will be Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 15 and 16, in the Helen Connor Laird Theatre at UW-Marshfield/Wood County.

This irreverent, warm-hearted portrayal centers on the McGrath sisters as they struggle to make sense of their lives. Lenny is the caring older sister who has sacrificed herself to care for their ailing grandfather. Wild middle sister Meg left behind her family and lover to pursue a singing career; and the newly rebellious Babe, they youngest, faces prison for shooting her abusive husband.

The trio's reunion in their hometown of Hazlehurst, Miss., triggers a hilarious mix of conflicts, crises and revelations. For sisters or anyone who has sisters, it is easy to recognize the unique bond formed by a shared history of victories and defeats, laughter and tears.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, April 21-22 and 28-29.  There are four female and two male roles. Contact Director Steve Decker to schedule an audition at 715.389.6543 or sdecker@uwc.edu.  Opportunities for costuming, lighting, sound design, set building etc. are also available.
