Runway Theatre announces auditions for its upcoming production of “Four Old Broads”

Grapevine-based Runway Theatre recently announced auditions for its upcoming production of “Four Old Broads” by Leslie Kimbell. Auditions will take place by appointment at the theater from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on April 7 and 8.

The theater’s description of the play is as follows:

“The 90’s may be jammin’ with the invention of the internet but, inside the Magnolia Place Assisted Living, the days creep by for retired burlesque queen Beatrice and her aging friends. Things have gone from dull to dangerous now that Nurse Pat Jones has joined the staff and Beatrice is desperate to board a Sassy Seniors Cruise but before she can talk her crew into joining the adventure they’ll have to investigate the disappearance of their resident physician, go undercover to uncover the significance of a mysterious pill being handed out with alarming regularity, and enlighten the authorities on the “dark side” of the building. Teamwork is just the ticket to save the day and savor the ride through retirement!”

Kelsie LeFlore will direct the PG-13 production, which will run from June 7-23. Those interested in auditioning should bring a resume and headshot. Audition appointments are available through SignUp Genius at the link here.
