Auditions are open to anyone and everyone.
The director of the show has the final decision on casting the actor that they feel is best for the role. However, whenever legally required to do so by our performance agreement we will cast within the limitations set by the playwright (age, gender, weight, race, etc.).
If cast, you will be required to become a member of Monroe Community Players. Memberships start at $20 and may be purchased HERE. Membership is valid from July 1- June 30. There is also a $10 participation fee for each production you are cast in to assist in defraying the costs of production.
Monroe Community Players maintains a policy of open casting at all auditions. This means that you will be auditioning in front of a group of others who are auditioning and may be asked to perform along with them.

Synopsis: Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart.
Note: The Broadway production starred Eileen Heckart as Lucille. It was made into a film, starring Ellen Burstyn, Dianne Ladd, and Olympia Dukkakis.
