It’s Christmas in Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion’s Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies! Radio station OKKK news personalities Thurston Wheelis and Arles Struvie report on various Yuletide activities. It’s 24 hours before Christmas and the delightfully eccentric characters of Tuna attempt to cope with seasonal traumas such as the disaster prone little theatre production of A Christmas Carol, and a yard-decorating contest being sabotaged by a mysterious Christmas phantom.

General Admission – $22.00, Seniors (62+) & Students – $17.00.
Group Rates(10 or more people): General Admission, Seniors (62+), Students – $15.00.

When the creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop assemble for a backer’s audition for a new musical on a suburban estate, things turn deadly with plenty of confusing murders and knotty plots to unravel in John Bishop’s comedic thriller. This ingenious and wildly comic romp spoofs the great murder mystery movies of the 1940s, leaving the audience to wonder, whodunit?

We welcome non-traditional casting – all roles are open to all races and ethnic diversities (unless specifically noted in the character description).

Rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays beginning in November, with the exception of the final week of tech, for which all will be called nearly every night of the week. If you have any questions, please email us at 2ndstarbowie@gmail.com.

-Please bring a theatrical resume and headshot (professional quality not necessary) or recent face picture for the casting team.
-Bring a written list of any and all remotely possible conflicts between November 2017 and February 2018.
-Please wear clothing that is comfortable to move in.

Rachel: The Play at Bowie State University, Oct 26

Rachel: The Play at Bowie State University, Oct 26

Rachel: The Play
By Angelina Weld Grimke
Directed by Michelle Washington

October 26, 2017 7:30pm

Fine and Performing Arts Center, Black Box Theatre, Bowie State University.

This play from 1917 transcends contemporary socio-political issues through the lead female character. Rachel is a young black woman living with her mother and brother. Upon hearing of the gruesome deaths of both her father and her brother, she decides to never have children of her own and to never marry. While popular and award winning when first written, adding to Grimke’s dramatic experience here in addition to her poetry and novels, Rachel has been produced only twice since its creation.

This performance reading is directed by Adjunct Professor Michelle Washington and supported by BSU’s Alpha Psi Omega Theatre Honor Society.
