Due to weather, auditions for the next performance with the Community Players of Greene County have been canceled today, but there are two other opportunities.

“The Nerd” by Larry Shue is about a young architect who is a military veteran living in Terre Haute, Indiana when Rick Steadman visits him unexpectedly. Steadman has never met the architect who is also a military veteran that was seriously wounded in Vietnam and the architect saves his life. Steadman’s visit comes when the architect is celebrating his 34th birthday. The occasion is thrown into shambles because of Steadman’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior. 

The cast includes four male and two female roles, along with one 8-14 year old kid. Auditions will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Jefferson from 6-8pm tomorrow and Monday from 7-9pm.
