Strand Theater Company Holds Auditions for A PEPPERMINT PATTY CHRISTMAS, 10/20

The Strand Theater is holding auditions for 'A Peppermint Patty Christmas' by local playwright and lesbian activist Kate Bishop on Wednesday, October 20 from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Audition slots will be scheduled through Jayme Kilburn: jkilburn@strandtheatercompany.org . Walk-ins will be accommodated.

Show dates for 'A Peppermint Patty Christmas' are December 2-18, 2010

Patricia dreads going home for the holidays. It seems her winter gloom descends like the dancing robot Santas and the light-up Messiahs, earlier and earlier every year. But this year, she's going to set a different dinner table. Patricia made a promise to herself, her girlfriend, and her therapist that this is the year -- no matter how much her mom tries to keep conversation meteorological in nature -- this year she's going to try something new. She will tell the truth. The whole truth. And nothing. But. The truth.

Now playing at Strand Theater is Rebecca Gilman's 'The Glory of Living,' through October 23. 

'The Glory of Living' tells the story of Lisa, a 16-year-old girl, and her marriage to Clint, an ex-con twice her age. Systematically abused by her husband, Lisa is coerced into helping him commit crimes of varying magnitude, including murder.
