“The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch,” directed by Sam Luptak Jr., Victorian Players, Victorian Players Theatre, 702 Mahoning Ave., Youngstown, auditions 7 p.m. March 27 and 28. “Sneaky Fitch” is a comedic farce set in the old west.

The group is looking for a male or female of any age who fits the requirements. All other roles do not require singing. A range of actors, from older teenagers to those of any age, are being sought for nine male and three female roles, minimum. There are great roles for newcomers and veterans alike. Performances will be May 22-June 7, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2. Rehearsals will begin in mid-April. Arrangements can be made for those who are unable to make auditions but are interested; call the director at 330-207-3483 for information.
