“Do you picture yourself as Julia Roberts, age 19, in her Golden Globe-winning role as Shelby or maybe more like Truvy, portrayed by Dolly Parton?” a release asked. “How about you on stage playing M’Lyn (Sally Fields), Annelle, Clairee or Ouiser?”
Steel Magnolias is a well-recognized stage play and well-honored movie and will fill the Walker Bay Theater stage with laughs and thought-provoking subject matter, added the release.
Performance dates are set for Aug. 8 through 18, 2024. Rehearsals will be held at Walker Bay Theater, with the schedule for rehearsals established by cast and director.
Walker Bay Theater Director Jacobsen Hart encourages community members to audition and take advantage of the opportunity to check an item off of their bucket list, the release said.
Cast calls are scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 10, and Thursday, March 14, in the Theater’s Lower Level (beneath Subway).
If you are unable to attend those dates but still wish to audition, contact Dave Holk at (218) 820-1603 to arrange alternate dates and times.
