SSCC Theatre is pleased to announce their upcoming auditions for the fall production of The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, by Jane Wagner.

Lily Tomlin’s one woman tour-de-force won The New York Drama Desk Award and The New York Drama Critics Circle Award as well as a Tony for Best Actress. The play quickly introduces us to Trudy, who takes us, along with her two alien companions, on a discovery trip to find out what it means to be human and imparting her own impressions on life. Trudy introduces us to many people, ranging from Agnus Angst, a 15-year-old punk performance artist; Agnus’ grandparents Lud and Marie; Chrissy, a recently unemployed workout enthusiast; Lily, an actress currently performing a one-woman show; and many others.

Auditions, open to community members and students, will be held on Friday, August 26 at 6:30 p.m. in The Edward K. Daniels Auditorium at the Central Campus of Southern State Community College, in Hillsboro, OH. Those interested in auditioning should prepare and memorize a comedic one to two-minute monologue. Those interested on working in available crew positions will be asked to complete an interview the night of auditions. The cast will be comprised entirely of women, but men and women are being sought for crew. If you’re interested in auditioning, but unavailable to attend the audition date, please contact Rainee Angles to schedule an alternate audition date prior to August 26.

The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, directed by Rainee Angles, will be performed November 4 – 6. For more information about The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, available roles, and a rehearsal schedule, please visit www.sscctheatre.com.
