Open Auditions for "The Breakfast Club"

This cult classic movie is being brought to the stage by HCT. It's the weekend, and five students have Saturday detention. There's a jock, a princess, a misfit, a nerd and a lout. Not much in common, except for having to give up their day, sit in the school library, and write an essay for the unlucky teacher who has Saturday detention duty. Being from such widely different backgrounds and having such completely different personalities, it's inevitable that some frictions and shenanigans develop. Especially when the principal leaves the room. But in their differences, they find themselves as they truly are.

Roles are available for 2 females (ages 15 - 23), 3 males (ages 15 - 23), 1 male (age 30+), and several adult extras (ages 35+).

These open auditions will be held on Monday and Tuesday, June 1 and 2 starting at 6 pm at the Hannibal Community Theatre. The Theatre is located at the corner of S. 6th and Lyon Sts in Hannibal, MO (see map). For more information contact Jamie Grady at 573-795-8360.
