The Uwharrie Players had a successful BBQ fundraiser and we thank all who helped by volunteering their time to sell, cook, and pack plates and deliver plates. Thanks to all who bought plates and trays. We count on all of you to help us so that we can continue to bring great plays to the community. It took everyone doing what they did to make it a successful fundraiser.
Uwharrie Players Schedule Auditions for Fall 2019 Show
The Uwharrie Players have scheduled auditions for their Fall 2019 show, Let Him Sleep til it's Time for His Funeral. Auditions will be Monday, August 26, and Tuesday, August 27 from 6:00-8:00pm, and will be held at the Uwharrie Players' clubhouse, 546 East Main Street. The dates for the show are: October 11-13 and October 18-20 at 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00pm on Sundays.
This is a convulsively funny comedy, where everything goes from bad to awful. It starts when a loving wife decides to give her husband, Harold, a funeral for his 50th birthday. It's to be a fantastic surprise party for guests, relatives, the undertaker, and most of all, Harold. But there's a mix-up. Harold thinks he's to be murdered by his wife and she thinks Harold is leaving her. Their daughter and the neighbors all have other ideas. This delightful mess is amazingly resolved in a second-act hurricane of hilarity.
Cast of six characters:
Jackie Westmore: Female 45-50 years of age
Marianne Dollefson: Female 35-45 years of age
Elizabeth Dollefson: Female 13-17 years of age
Russ Westmore: Male 45-50 years of age
