CRIMES OF THE HEART - Theatre Coppell Non Equity Auditions

Audition Notice

Crimes of the Heart |
Theatre Coppell

By Beth Henley

Director: Janis Arthur | Assistant Director: Peggy Rosson

Warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative, the play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions. The three MaGrath sisters are back together in their hometown of Hazelhurst, Mississippi for the first time in a decade. Under the scorching heat of the Mississippi sun, past resentments bubble to the surface and each sister must come to terms with the consequences of her own “crimes of the heart.”
