Auditions coming soon for Farce of Nature!
Auditions for the tumultuous, side-splitting comedy "Farce of Nature" will be held on Sunday, August 15 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Cobbs Creek Arts Center, 61 Cobbs Creek Lane, Cobbs Creek.
In the show, guests will be welcomed to the Reel ‘Em Inn fishing lodge of Mayhew, Arkansas in the wilderness of the Ozarks, where the fishing is good, the hunting is better, but tourists are few.
Meet the Wilburns: Reel ‘Em Inn proprietor D. Gene is focused on fishing and running his little Inn. His wife, Wanelle, is focused on recapturing her husband’s attention.
The couple employs the sweet and artistic Jenna as she pursues her art and waits for the Wilburns' son Ty to return to Mayhew after trying to make it as an actor in Chicago.
D. Gene’s sister, Maxie, helps out around the inn, but dreams of resuming her former life as a mildly inept law enforcement officer.
All chaos breaks loose as Maxie, now working for Witness Protection, brings Carmine Deluca, a former mob informant, to the Inn as his protective detail.
All heck breaks loose as the one person Maxie must keep Carmine safe from, Sonnie Barbosa, bursts onto the scene, though he is looking for his neglected and sexy wife, Lola.
In this delightful, fast-paced and adeptly named farce, the characters avoid, mistake, mistrust, misfire, scrap, connect and reconnect with each other and the wilderness surrounding them in unexpected and side-splitting ways.
There are roles for 4 men and 5 women:
D. Gene Wilburn – male, 50s – hunting and fishing aficionado and proprietor of the Reel ‘Em Inn. Arkansas born and raised.
Wanelle Wilburn – female, 50’s – D. Gene’s wife. Also, Arkansas born and raised.
