'Laughingstock' auditions set Monday, Tuesday

Director Andrew Ranck will host two nights of auditions for "Laughingstock," the final production of the 2017 Putnam County Playhouse season.

Auditions will be held Sunday, July 23 at 3 p.m. and Monday, July 24 at 7 p.m. in the Rehearsal Center at the Hazel Day Longden Theatre off Round Barn Road in Greencastle.

This is Ranck's third year at PCPH and his second show directing. Last year he directed "The Odd Couple (Female Version)." Ranck, who is executive director of Putnam County Comprehensive Services, was last seen in "Curtains the Musical," playing Christopher Belling.

Ranck describes the show like this: "Murphy's Law could be a replacement title for this fun romp that tells the tale of a summer theater troupe that performs their repertory season in an old converted barn (sound familiar?) with hilarious outcomes."

Every person in theater has a tale of something that went wrong in a production, so imagine if all of these things happened at once. That is "Laughingstock." The cast of "Laughingstock" includes five women and seven men in a wide range of ages from teens to 70s.

Those auditioning should be prepared to read from the script.
