Lambda Players Hold Auditions for SKY LINES, 1/9

The Lambda Players are hosting auditions for the upcoming production of 'Sky Lines' written and directed by David-Matthew Barnes. Auditions will take place January 9.

This heartfelt play explores the lives of Venita, Maggie and Sarah who live in a rundown apartment building in an unnamed American city. Venita is a black woman who has been ostracized from her family for marrying a white man named George. Maggie endures a loveless marriage and within ten years, she gives birth to five children. Sarah desires a life of picture-perfect glamour and excitement and has married her high school sweetheart. After a few brushes with reality, Sarah becomes dismayed with her predictable life and slips into a crippling depression. Over the course of 34 years, Venita, Maggie and Sarah confront social and political issues as they fight to assert their identities and to protect their friendship. "Sky Lines" received a national award in the New Plays for Young Women playwriting competition. This production marks the world premiere of this new play.
