The Charitable Sisterhood of the Second Trinity Church
Comedy by Bo Williams
Directed by Mike Skiles
Storms have flooded the roads, but it takes more than a little rain to keep the Charitable Sisterhood of Pennington Gap, VA from fulfilling their mission. When these ladies meet to organize a relief effort for homeless Guatemalans, they are greeted with a mountain of community donations – and that pile of stuff is hiding a thing or two. Join us in the church basement, where our five angels of mercy will leave you breathless with laughter as they do their best to save the world, and each other.

The Rainmaker
Dramatic comedy by N. Richard Nash
Directed by Joe DePauw
At a time of paralyzing drought in a small Texas town, Lizzie Curry’s father and two brothers worry as much about her potential future as an old maid as they do about their dying cattle. As the dry heat rages, they try unsuccessfully to find her a husband. Suddenly, a handsome, sweet-talking man named Bill Starbuck appears in town. Claiming to be a “rainmaker,” Starbuck promises – for $100 – to bring rain to the desiccated town. Though some remain skeptical, the Currys finally consent, banging on big brass drums to rattle the sky. Meanwhile, Starbuck turns his magic on Lizzie, convincing her that she possesses a beauty of her own. Despite herself, Lizzie believes it, just as her father believes that this mysterious stranger might actually bring rain.
AUDITIONS ON SUNDAY ONLY
Cast Needs:
• 1 female (mid-20’s to mid-30’s)
• 6 males (ages ranging mid-20’s to mid-50’s).
