The Front Porch Theatre Group will be holding auditions for the new play THREE DATES, written and directed by Stacey Rose. This is a work in development and therefore has no scheduled production dates. The piece is to be workshopped, stage read, and eventually put up with full production qualities. This is a great opportunity for creative growth for new and seasoned actors as it is a walk through the creation process from beginning to completion without the heated rush to get the show up.
