Auditions are set for new play festival

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown Playhouse, off Glenwood Avenue, will have auditions on Tuesday and Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. for its fifth annual Voices of the Valley New One-Act Play Festival.

This year’s original selection is “Remains,” written by local playwright Richard William Machuga. “Remains” is a “deadly funny” comedy that takes the planning of funeral arrangements as its premise.

The play calls for two male actors, preferably ages 35 to 45. Both roles are open. Auditionees will be asked to read from the script.

Rehearsals will begin immediately after auditions.

“Remains” will be performed in the Moyer Room Aug. 5 and 6.
