Audition for 'Not About Nightingales' at Oakton

Open auditions for the Performing Arts at Oakton production of "Not About Nightingales," by Tennessee Williams, are scheduled 6 - 9 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 6, and Wednesday, Sept. 7, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.

Inspired by the true story of a 1938 prison riot in Philadelphia County where four inmates were brutally murdered, "Not About Nightingales" was one of the first dramas penned by Williams. The director is casting all types; men to play adults in their 30s to 60s; two women to play adults in their 20s to 30s; and a woman to play an adult in her 50s or 60s. Actors will have cold readings from provided scripts.

"Not About Nightingales" will be presented Oct. 20 - 30, at Oakton's Des Plaines campus. For more information or to order tickets, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900. For group sales of 15 or more, contact Karol Verson at 847-635-2185.
