SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 2016 G ARDEN C LUB CAT announces auditions for ‘Grace and Glorie’ Class Act Theatre (CAT), along with Florence Actors Theatre (formerly Florence Repertory Theatre Company), aka FATCAT Productions, announce auditions for the part of Gloria in an upcoming production of Tom Ziegler’s “Grace and Glorie.” Audition dates for “Grace and Glorie” are Saturday, May 7, from 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday, May 8, from 2 to 4 p.m. at CAT. A prepared monologue is not necessary, but those audi- tioning are encouraged to bor- row a script from the Siuslaw Public Library or by calling the Class Act Theatre at 541- 997-4815 to check out a script. Gloria is a stage age 30 to 40ish year old woman trans- planted from Manhattan to rural Virginia in this heart- warming, surprisingly funny play about preparing for end of life, recovery from trauma and the healing, life-affirming SPRUCES UP 7 A G ALLAGHER ’ S P ARK power of simple friendship. “Grace and Glorie” will be performed the weekends of Aug. 5 to 7 and 12 to 14 at the Class Act Theatre, at 509 Kingwood St. at the corner of Kingwood Street and Rhododendron Drive. Director Paula Lindekugel- Willis called the script, “an artfully written play surround- ing the themes of human con- trast, life lessons and building respect and friendships.” “I feel honored that Class Act Theatre has agreed to pro- duce this for their 2016-17 season,” Lindekugel-Willis said. “One would think that a play dealing with an eighty something, dying, remote West Virginia mountain woman who encounters a younger, former New York professional who is now vol- unteering as a rural hospice worker would not have humor but this does. These are two real and believable charac- ters.” JACK DAVIS/SIUSLAW NEWS L L E E O O M M L L I I D D F lorence Garden Club members clean up Gallagher’s Park, at the corner of Spruce Street and Highway 126, in time for next month’s Rhody Days, May 20 to 22.
