Please prepare two contrasting monologues. You will also read from the script. Keep in mind that the women in this play are witty, intelligent, and, above all, real. They are in no way meant to be portrayed as cartoons or caricatures. Also, this play requires Southern dialects, specifically Louisiana. We would like to hear this at auditions.

Show Description: Set in a small-town beauty shop in Louisiana on the wedding day of the much loved Shelby, a young and pretty diabetic, the play creates a sense of community between six women who meet regularly to share their joys and sorrows as well as to gossip good-naturedly about men, marriage and the latest hair styles. We see a tenderness emanating from the spirit of these indomitable women.
