Tennessee Williams, are scheduled 6 - 9 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 6, and

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.

About Nightingales" will be presented Oct. 20 - 30, at Oakton's Des
Plaines campus. For more information or to order tickets, call the
