Auditions will be held at the Tift Theatre for the Performing Arts in downtown Tifton on July 9-10 from 6:30-8 p.m. each night for a late summer comedy titled “The Savannah Sipping Society.”

Dr. Brian Ray, Artistic Director for the Tift Community Players, said the play includes roles for four women in the age range of 45 to 69 and one non-speaking female role. Performance dates are set for Aug. 23-25.

“All auditions are open to any community members interested in performing,” Ray, who is also the director of the Baldwin Players at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, said. “No prior acting experience is required.

“These auditions don’t require any prepared material. You will be asked to read selected passages and scenes from the script. You do not need to attend auditions on both nights.”

Ray said the play is about four Southern women looking to cope with the changes in their lives. An impromptu “happy hour” brings them together and begins the path to discovering a renewed determination to live in the moment. Along the way, they make new friends and build a new level of confidence.
