‘The MOMologues’ auditions scheduled

PACE — Panhandle Community Theatre has scheduled auditions for its next production, “The MOMologues.”

Dates for the show — by Lisa Rafferty, Sheila Eppolito and Stefanie Cloutier and directed by Gail Ready — are May 11-14 and 18-21.

Auditions for four females, 25 to 40 years old and any ethnicity, are set 6 p.m. March 17 and 18 at Panhandle Community Theatre, 4646 Woodbine Road, Pace.

“This original comedy about motherhood rips away the gauzy mask of parenthood to reveal what all mothers know but don’t always talk about: it’s overwhelming and exhausting, but also very, very funny,” a media release states. “From the joys of infertility, through reading the same books over and over and over, to finally seeing your baby get on that school bus, this play mines the laughs and tears of the early years of motherhood.

“Four separate characters tell their individual stories, either directly to the audience in monologues, or in scenes with each other. Mothers everywhere can relate to the labor stories, the frustration of a simple trip to the store, the quest to connect with other mothers, all of which causes them to plan moms’ nights out and arrive in packs to laugh hysterically at this tribute to ‘the toughest job you’ll ever love.”
