The Golden Chain Theater has begun to prepare for another fine performance in the upcoming months.  The new play will be “La Rue’s Return”.  With twenty years of experience, the play will be directed by Mary Lou Finley.  The play is set in New Orleans in 1875.  “New Orleans is a bustling center for Southern commerce. Prosperity abounds, except in one tiny bistro on the one tiny street in the French Quarter.”  The play is sure to be another great melodrama with many complications for your viewing enjoyment.

The character parts that they are looking to fill are for:  the smooth and evil Jacques La Rue, Polly Montclair who experiences doom and despair, the squeaky clean Lt. Alan Wextad, charming Ike the bartender, the sultry French chambermaid Mimi, the temblor-inducing sorceress Swamp Crone and Lazio the drunk.

If acting is not your kind of gig, but you still want to participate, there are many other positions that are available for you.  They need costume coordinators, dancers, singers, set decorators, and sound and lighting operators.

Auditions will be held at the Golden Chain Theatre in Oakhurst.  The address is 42130 Highway 41.  Auditions will be from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on April 2nd and 3rd.  Performances will run from June 7th until July 20th on Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

The Golden Chain Theatre is a volunteer non-profit theater.  They do special holiday shows, special events and mini shows that sometimes hit the road for others to enjoy.  If you would like more information, visit www.goldenchaintheatre.org or call (559) 683-3789 or (559) 683-7112 for more information on volunteering or performances.
