Troy's directing another show

Young Desiree Samone's (left) play will get its world premiere in Columbus' Liberty Theatre next month.

Troy Heard, the artistic director of the Chattahoochee Shakespeare Co., found a play called "A Love Supreme" by Desiree Samone. So he's producing the show in partnership with the Liberty Theatre. He'll be directing the show.

It's set during the Civil Rights movement in New Orleans. "A Love Supreme" is about a young girl who comes of age when she discovers her talent as a jazz singer, much against her mother's wishes.

Auditions will be at 4 p.m. Oct. 12 and 7 p.m. Oct. 13, at the Liberty Theatre, 813 Eighth Ave. Yes, that's this Sunday and Monday. I didn't get the information until it was too late for To Do. We recently moved our deadline up and not everyone got the word.

The production will run Nov. 14 -22.

Troy is looking for three women and one man: Chloe, 19-20, who narrates the play has to have a superior singing voice; Charlene, her mother, who is in her early 40s; Rita, Charlene's sister-in-law, who is in her late 30s and owns a nightclub; and Mr. Cook, a charming record producer in his late 40s.

If you're interested in any of these roles, call Troy at 702-423-6366 or e-mail him at chattshakes@gmail.com

I'm always glad to see a theater doing new plays, and this one sounds like a good one.
