PULLMAN, Wash. – Community members are invited to audition for roles in Washington State University Performing Arts’ production of playwright Neil Simon’s “The Dinner Party” at 7 p.m. Jan. 19 and 20 in Wadleigh Theatre at Daggy Hall.
“The Dinner Party,” directed by WSU clinical assistant professor Mary Trotter, is a one-act comedy about marriage and divorce.
It is only necessary to attend one audition session and no preparation is required.
Rehearsals will be held on evenings and weekends beginning in early February, with six performances scheduled for April 1, 2, 8 and 9 at WSU’s Jones Theatre in Daggy Hall.
Simon, himself married five times, mines his own experience to create this unique farce-turned-dramedy. Six unknowing guests have RSVP’d to a dinner at a private dining room in a first-rate Paris restaurant, only to find themselves at an unorthodox party that will forever change their lives.
“Frequently hilarious but also dangerously serious… An invitation you’ll be glad you accepted,” said the New York Post.
“The Dinner Party” is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
