The Marion Art Center will hold auditions for its summer musical, “Mid-Life! The Crisis Musical” by Bob Walton and Jim Walton. Auditions will be Monday, May 12 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, May 14 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. The show dates are July 24, 25, 26 and August 1 and 2. The production will be directed by Nancy Sparklin.

Those auditioning should be prepared with a monologue and a song with sheet music for the pianist. There will be monologues and sheet music available at the auditions.

“Mid-life!” strikes a chord with everyone regardless of age. A series of scenes and sketches poke fun at the frustrations of mammograms, love handles, weekend warriors and proctology exams. The songs celebrate forgetfulness, reading glasses and menopause, but also touch on the sentimental wisdom that the later years afford us. “Mid-life!” is a hilarious romp about the trials and tribulations of the unavoidable aging process.

Anyone who canot make it to one of the formal auditions, but would like to audition, should contact Nancy Sparklin at 508-763-2327.

The Marion Art Center is located at 80 Pleasant St. For more information, call 508-748-1266.
