Theater Group settles on new name

Black Mountain Theatre, formerly known as Craig Performing Arts Project, is announcing auditions for it's upcoming production of "Ladies of the Jury."

This Broadway success is a courtroom comedy in the tradition of James Stewart and Katherine Hepburn.

Set in a small town in the l920's, a jury is selected and a murder trial is held. An eccentric juror who uses unorthodox means to change minds, amusingly interrupts the dramatic proceedings.

This hilarious script calls for 12 men and 10 women. Auditions will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 25; Thursday, April 27; and Tuesday, May 2 at the Center of Craig Performances are planned for Aug. 4 and 5 and will be directed by Cindy Chotvacs. If you've ever wanted to try acting, this is the play for you with a fun script and a wide variety of characters.

For more information, contact Cindy at 824-6002 or Julie at 824-5251.
