ANNOUNCING AUDITIONS FOR DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL

            Athens Community Theater will hold auditions for the spring comedy production of DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL by Mitch Albom on Sunday, February 26, 6:00 PM and Monday, February 27 at 7:00 PM at The Arts Center in Athens, TN.  Show dates are April 19-29, 2012 at The Arts Center.

            DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL is the uproarious story of two bumbling Alabama brothers who have never shot a duck but think they shot an angel.  As they lament their fates in a murky swamp, they are chased by a cynical tabloid journalist and his reluctant photographer, who don’t believe any of it – until feathers, wings and a tiara are discovered along the way.  The play hysterically interweaves a love story, sibling rivalry, tawdry media, race relations and cultural stereotypes as the chase to find the angel builds to a crescendo in the swamp.  Ultimately a sweet allegory about redemption, DUCK HUNTER SHOOTS ANGEL has been hailed by audiences as a rare comedy with a surprisingly heartfelt lesson.

            Needed are seven men and two women of varying ages.  Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script.  The director is veteran ACT actor/director Dave Siklosi and the play is sponsored by Pascarella & Miller Certified Public Accountants and Art and Ellen Kimball.

            The Arts Center is located at 320 North White St. in downtown Athens.  For more information call 423-745-8781 or David Siklosi at 745-4680.
