Auditions & Performances: Auditions for “Off the Beaten Path” will be Tuesday and Wednesday, August 19 & 20 at 6:00 pm in Trayer Theatre in the Fine Arts Center. No preparation is needed and there are many roles for both males & females available. “Off the Beaten Path” is a collection of award-winning Off-Off-Broadway festival plays that deal with some interesting issues in unusual ways. We plan to have “talk-backs” after each performance as these plays will inspire thought-provoking discussion. This will give both the audience and the performers an opportunity to express their response to the plays’ themes from a variety of perspectives. Performances are planned for September 30, October 1 and 2 at 6:00 pm each evening. For more information please contact Bonny Gable at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
