Brush Creek is holding open auditions to be part of Brush Creek’s annual melodrama — this year’s melodrama is “The Golden Harp that Saved Silverton,” written and directed by Norman Gouveia. This is the second of two chances to audition, with the first opportunity on Monday, April 16.

Evil Dusty Dirk – also known as “Dirty Dirk,” – is trying to squeeze the Nicely family off their land so he can get the treasure his uncle buried somewhere on their land. He is also trying to get our heroine, Cicely Nicely, to marry him. But she only has eyes for Cole Thorpe, the very handsome hero. How will this all play out. What about the Mysterious Stranger? How will Cole buy the Hopeland spread? It’s all a mystery in the “The Golden Harp That Saved Silverton.”

The cast involves parts of various sizes for men and women of various ages. Are you an experienced actor looking for a bit of summer fun pounding the boards? Give us a try! Are you a first-timer thinking this might be the thing for you? Melodramas are a great way to get started! Somewhere in between? We’ve got a place for you as well.

No preparation is needed to audition. Auditions will be held at the theater, which is located at 11535 Silverton Road (the intersection of Brush Creek and Silverton Roads — the parking lot is entered off of Brush Creek).

The production itself will run Friday, June 15 thru Sunday, July 1. Performances will be at 7 pm Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm Sundays.
