Auditions will be cold readings from the script and will be held on March 2 (6-8pm), 3 (2-4pm), and 4 (2-4pm), 2012, at Pickerington Christian Church (PCC), located at 575 Diley Road in Pickerington. This play promises to be fun for all, so please come join us. We invite all to come to auditions, even if you’re not interested in being in the spotlight. We are looking to fill positions in all aspects of the production.

Plot Overview

At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long before you realize that if they are mad, then the rest of the world is madder. Their life philosophy is to do what they enjoy. In contrast to these delightful people are the very proper but unhappy Kirbys. Tony, the attractive young son of the Kirbys, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore house on the wrong evening. The shock sustained by Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, who are invited to eat cheap food, shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The Sycamores find it hard to understand Alice’s view. Tony knows the Sycamores live the right way with love and care for each other, while his own family is the one that’s crazy. In the end, Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores after he happens in during a visit by the ex-Grand Duchess of Russia, Olga Katrina, who is currently earning her living as a waitress.
