MCP Auditions for “Morning’s at Seven”
The Middlebury Community Players will hold open auditions for Morning’s at Seven, a comedy by Paul Osborn, on November 18th + 20th.
This Tony Award-winning, heartwarming classic focuses on the four aging Gibbs sisters and their husbands living “a stone’s throw” away from each other in a small midwestern town in 1928—and the reactions within the family when 40-year-old Homer announces he’s finally going to marry his girlfriend of the last 12 years and move out. Long-simmering resentments, rivalries, betrayals, misunderstandings, and familial bickering ensue.

LOVE/SICK
by John Cariani
June 20–23, 2024
The Vergennes Opera House
120 Main St.
Vergennes, VT 05491
Love/Sick is acclaimed playwright John Cariani's poignant and witty look at life, love, and miscommunications. In nine slightly twisted yet totally hilarious scenes, all set on a Friday night in a suburban alternate reality, Cariani explores the highs and lows of love and relationships, ranging from insane infatuation to bittersweet endings. Full of imperfect lovers and dreamers, Love/Sick is an unromantic comedy for the romantic in everyone.
See the Love/Sick show page for more details.
