PTL is proud to announce auditons for our summer show, Ruthless! The Stage Mother of Musicals!
Ruthless! is the story of a naive 1950s-adjacent housewife, Judy, and her adorable but sociopathic 8-year-old daughter, Tina. Encouraged by her manager, Sylvia, Tina will do ANYTHING to get the lead role in her school play, "including murdering the leading lady!" In Act II, while Tina spends time at a reform school for psychopathic ingenues, Judy discovers from her adoptive mother that her birth mother was a famous actress. Judy decides that she should be famous as well and becomes a Broadway diva.
Performances will take place August 18-20 at the newly reopened Strand Theatre in Hudson Falls!
Rehearsals will be 1-2 weeknight evenings per week in Glens Falls and/or Hudson Falls, beginning June 19.
Directed by Kayla Toney & Music Directed by Jonathan Granger
