“In the past ten seasons I have been very excited and pleased by the caliber of actors, singers and musicians who have come into to audition during our annual open audition call. Each year continues to impress me. We have frequently found new faces from the auditions and I have been amazed by the consistency of talent demonstrated by more established actors. It has been satisfying to employ so many of actors discovered through our open audition process”, said artistic director Francine Thomas Reynolds. She continued, “We are looking forward to seeing the best actors, singers and actor/musicians that Mississippi and the South has to offer and finding a place for them on stage at New Stage Theatre during the 2016-2017 51st season.”
