STEEL MAGNOLIAS
by Robert Harling
Southern society won’t wilt these flowers.
Sept. 28-Oct. 21 (Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, Potter Rose Performance Hall)
Every Southern woman knows there are few institutions on earth more important than the town beauty parlor. At Truvy Jones’ salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, neighborhood women gather to swap stories, share gossip, and of course, style their hair. But when tragedy strikes, the community comes together in a bond more powerful than ten coats of hairspray. Steel Magnolias is a hilarious, heartwarming portrait of the strength and beauty of female friendship.

SWEAT
by Lynn Nottage
Jan. 18-Feb. 10 (Kalita Humphreys Theater)
From assembly line to picket line, it’s more than just a job. It’s the year 2000 in the steel town of Reading, Pennsylvania, and all best friends Tracey and Cynthia need are their steady factory jobs, their favorite bar, and each other. But as years pass and a recession hits, hard times at the factory threaten their livelihoods and test the limits of their friendship. Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize, playwright Lynn Nottage's second Pulitzer, and nominated for the 2017 Tony Award® for Best Play, Sweat takes an unflinching look at life in the industrial working class that has been hailed as “the first theatrical landmark of the Trump era.”

THE WOLVES
by Sarah DeLappe
March 6-April 14 (Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, Studio Theatre)
Play like a pack of girls. Drive. Ambition. Endurance. Precision. We’re not talking about any high school girls’ soccer team, we’re talking about a pack of female warriors, determined to score. This elite squad of nine teenage girls meets every Saturday to stretch before their games, and high school gossip rapidly evolves into mature meditations on the girls’ understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Breakout playwright Sarah DeLappe writes these girls “as soccer players — not as daughters, not as girlfriends, not as sexual objects, but as athletes.” A 2017 Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Wolvesis a fierce and unexpected play that has been taking the theater world by storm since the moment the girls took the field.

#11 - Midfield. Brainy, morbid, budding elitist, thoughtful. Seventeen.
#25 - Defense, Captain. Classic (ex)coach’s daughter. Seventeen.
#13 - Midfield. Stoner, older pot dealer brother, into her wackiness. Sixteen.
#46 - Bench. New girl. Awkward, different, just wants to fit in. Sixteen.
#2 - Defense. Innocent, unlucky, kind, skinny. Sixteen.
#7 - Striker. Too cool for school. Sarcastic, “fuck”, thick eyeliner. Almost seventeen.
#14 - Midfield. #7’s insecure sidekick. Just switched to contacts. Sixteen.
#8 - Defense. Childlike and determined to stay that way. Sixteen.
#00 - Goalie. Intense performance anxiety, perfectionist, high achiever. Seventeen.
Soccer Mom

Life in Dallas' Pleasant Grove was both sweet and sour.
Growing up in a candy house sounds like every kid’s dream. But for 12-year-old Jon-Jon, helping his father run Paw Paw’s Candy Tree out of their run-down one-bedroom apartment isn’t quite a dream come true. As their neighborhood sees a surge of violence fueled by epidemic drug use and increasing racial tensions, the business begins to fail and danger looms immediately outside Jon-Jon’s front door. Oh, and then there’s the looming threat of Vacation Bible School. Worst summer ever! A world premiere from Dallas playwright Jonathan Norton, and set in Dallas’ own Pleasant Grove, Penny Candy follows one family as they seek to balance their responsibilities to their community and to one another.
Available Roles:
Rose- African-American, early 20’s crack dealer, works for Kington (a crack dealer who works out of the apartment next door to the candy house.)
