Oyster Mill Playhouse Announces Auditions for First Baptist of Ivy Gap

Oyster Mill Playhouse in Camp Hill is holding auditions for the comedy-drama, First Baptist of Ivy Gap, 7 pm Sunday, May 31 and Monday, June 1. Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script and auditionees are encouraged to bring their best southern accent.

First Baptist of Ivy Gap takes place during WWII as six women gather at the church to roll bandages and plan the church's 75th anniversary. Overseeing things is Edith, the pastor's wise-cracking wife who dispenses Red Cross smocks and witty repartee to Luby, whose son is fighting in the Pacific; Mae Ellen, the church's rebellious organist who wants to quit but hasn't the courage; Olene, who dreams of a career in Hollywood; Sammy, a shy newcomer with a secret; and Vera, an influential Baptist with a secret of her own. Twenty-five years later, our "First Baptist Six" reunite, but with revelations that shake relationships formed over a quarter of a century.

First Baptist of Ivy Gap is written by Ron Osborne and it is produced with special arrangement by Samuel French, Inc.
