Charleston Community Theater will host a rare open audition from 8 to 9 p.m. tonight at What’s Cookin’ restaurant, 409 Seventh St.

Auditions are for roles in the production of “Three Tall Women,” a play by Edward Albee, said Therese Kincade, vice president of the community theater.

Kincade, who is also producing the show, said Ruth Straith, the play’s director, is looking for a woman in her 20s and a young man in his 20s or 30s.

Those who audition don’t need to bring anything but themselves, Kincade said. A script will be provided to read from.

“We had auditions Sunday and Mondays, but because (Eastern’s) theater department is moving, they couldn’t get the word out to students,” Kincade said.

As the Fine Arts Center undergoes major renovations, campus performances will be limited.

The Charleston Community Theatre is trying to give students a chance to perform.

“This gives kids in the theater department a chance to work with an established group,” Kincade said.

Positions on the stage, lighting and backstage crews are also open to students.

“Three Tall Women” will have a two-weekend run in October at the Tarble Arts Center.

Performances are planned for the nights of Oct. 11 through 13, and Oct. 18 and 19.

Anyone who is interested in acting or helping produce “Three Tall Women” can call Kincade at (217) 345-7628.
