We will be holding open auditions for our next production, Harvey, on June 27 and 29, 2013. There are roles for six men and six women.   If you enjoy acting, consider auditioning. You’ll find detailed information about auditions here.

Harvey is Mary Chase’s magical funny story of a lovable man and his invisible friend, a pooka that takes the form of a six-foot rabbit. Many of you might be familiar with the 1950 movie, which starred Jimmy Stewart. The play first appeared on Broadway in 1944 and was the winner of a Pulitzer Prize.  It was recently revived on Broadway, with the character of Elwood portrayed by Jim Parsons (Sheldon on the TV series The Big Bang Theory).

Cast for Academia Nuts

Our theater’s inaugural production, Academia Nuts, was a big success. Attendance was good, with Saturday night’s audience being the largest.  Considering it was our first production and people are just beginning to discover that Wake Forest now has a community theater, we are pleased with the results. Financially, we’re also happy to announce that we earned enough through ticket sales and donations to cover all the costs of producing the show, with enough funds left over to pay the royalties and purchase scripts for our next production and to rent storage space (we now have set pieces that we can reuse!)

To all of you who supported our efforts by helping with set construction and house management and by attending a performance, and to our generous sponsors who bought advertising space or donated to our theater, we are indebted.

Finally, we’ve published photographs from Academia Nuts. You’ll find them by selecting Playbill from the menu above and then choosing Production Gallery.
