Auditions for the SLCC Black Box Theatre production
of Crimes of the Heart
by Beth Henley

Play Synopsis: The setting is in Hazlehurst, Mississippi where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. An unplanned reunion results with Babe’s older sisters, Meg and Lenora, juggling Babe’s ordeal, Granddaddy’s failing health and their own unresolved sibling rivalries. The play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

The play will be directed by Asst. Prof. Frank Gerrish
