South City will hold auditions for this hysterical southern comedy by the team who gave us the Golden Girls on Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. and Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. at the theatre: 2969 Pelham Parkway, Pelham, Al.

Directed by Rachael Pike Upton. The cast consists of 5 females, some of who play multiple roles. Characters are aged from late 40s thru 70s.

Fanny and Willa— the Wild sisters of Winedale, Virginia, — and their frustratingly quirky sister-in-law Johnnie Faye, are already accustomed to supporting one another through thick and thin, but they really need each other now. Fanny is experiencing a hilariously inappropriate reaction to her 60th birthday, while Willa is so stressed out from her nursing job that she resorts to vodka and speed-knitting to cope. Johnnie Faye, determined to put her year of fraught widowhood behind her, is desperately trying to find a man—preferably a man with a house, since hers is somewhere at the bottom of a Florida sinkhole. With equal doses of hilarity and heart, these extraordinary women come up with delightful and surprisingly unorthodox ways to clear the clutter from their lives, their homes and their relationships so they can move on. Together they prove it’s never too late to take another one of life’s paths for a grand new adventure! For more information, contact info@southcitytheatre.com

February 9, 10, 16, and 17, 2024 at 7:30 PM and February 11 at 2:00 PM at their Alpine Square theatre-2969 Pelham Parkway, Suite J., Pelham, AL 35124      

Tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door.  Advance Discounts are available for seniors, students, and groups. Visit https://www.southcitytheatre.com/get-tickets/ 

The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after an attempted singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach because she didn’t like his looks. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. Warm-hearted, irreverent, and imaginative, Crimes of the Heart teems with humanity. The question remains though, can you ever escape the past to seize the future?

This production is directed by Pat Yates and stars Lori Mercer, Jennifer Spiegelman, Megan Pecot, Autumn Brown, Carter Crane, and Brennan Martigoni.  The production staff includes Jess Smyly, Mike Gerrells, Clark French, Rachael Upton, and Destiny Clark.

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the magic of “Crimes of the Heart” as it takes center stage at South City Theatre from February 9, 2024, to February 17, 2024. Audiences are encouraged to secure their seats early for this heartwarming, irreverent, and zany theatrical masterpiece.
