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.

Audiences who couldn’t stop laughing during last fall’s production of “Christmas Belles” will have just as much fun at Hannibal Community Theatre’s spring production. After a long, cold winter, HCT is once again opening its doors and offering area residents a chance to laugh at the antics of the talented cast of the British comedy by Philip King, “See How They Run”. Galloping in and out of the four doors of an English vicarage, shortly after World War II, are an American actor (Jordan Hull) who is now stationed in England, an American actress (Cecelia Pierceall), who is married to the Vicar ( Sean Major), a cockney maid (Mandy Markulin) , an old maid (Jamie Grady) who “touches alcohol for the first time in her life”, four men in clergyman suits, presenting the problem of which is which, for disguised as one is an escaped Russian spy (Bryan Ruble), a sedate Bishop (Doug Coleman), a visiting clergyman (Mike Levy), and finally, a Police Sergeant (Jami Rosenburg) trying to sort them all out. This hilarious, fast-paced comedy is being directed by Cheryl Shadensack with help from Assistant Director, Peggy Northcraft, Stage Manager, Joy Wills, and crew members, Lairyn McGregor and T.J. Danehy.
