After a terrific season featuring the workshopping of three new plays, the Mobtown Playwrights Group has selected FOOLS CALL IT FATE, by Jessica McHugh, for a full production this summer. Six characters find themselves entwined in each other’s lives, sharing each other’s secrets, and enacting each other’s darkest fantasies of revenge, in this story of sex, coincidence, and an electronic cigarette.
The show opens July 22 and will …run three weekends, through August 6.
Auditions will be held May 17 and May 18 from 7pm until 9pm at the Mobtown Theater. Please bring a headshot and resume, but you do not need to prepare anything. Sides from the play will be provided. Any questions can be forwarded to the director, Mark C. Franceschin, at markcf2@gmail.com.
