Auditions

STG is staffed completely by volunteers, and auditions are open to anyone with a love or an interest in performing and live theatre. And remember, if being in the spotlight isn't your thing, there are lots of other ways to get involved!

Unless otherwise indicated, auditions are held in the Southside Theatre Guild auditorium at 20 W. Campbellton Street, Fairburn GA 30213.

When our heroine and diner owner, Della, discovers that her beloved Morning Glory Mountain is in reality a secret nuclear waste dump, it's makes her other troubles -- like being married to two men, having a grandson in reform school, a best friend in prison and a snotty nose uncontrollable daughter -- all seem like business as usual.

Oh yeah - the entire show is full of foot-stomping, country-western-gospel original music.

"Della's Diner...Blue Plate Special " is one of Atlanta's longest running Musical Comedies and is directed by a cast member from the original production - Robert Ray. 

Southside Theatre Guild will hold non-equity, open auditions for:

Della's Diner...Blue Plate Special

Directed by well-known producer/director, ROBERT RAY.

Auditions will be held on Monday, Aug. 2nd, with callbacks on Tuesday, Aug. 3rd.  Both nights will begin with a 6:30pm sign-in.  Appointments are not necessary.

Please bring a picture, resume and sheet music-in the correct key; an accompanist will be provided.
