Porthole Players in the News

 Auditions slated for ‘Spirits of Sylvia Beach’ 

Actors ages 18 to 99 are invited to audition for the Porthole Players’ production of “Spirits of Sylvia Beach,” a debut comedy, at 11 a.m. Sunday, March 10, in the lobby of the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Director Morgan Locklear and assistant director Sean Orton will conduct the auditions, along with producer Jennifer Locklear. The play is scheduled to run Sept. 6 through Sept. 22 at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

“Spirits of Sylvia Beach” takes place at the hotel of the same name, just down the road from the PAC. Written by local playwright and Porthole Board member Jennifer Chaney, this farce follows Lucy, a writer who works at the hotel and is visited by the famous spirits that dwell within.

No preparation is needed for auditions. Selected scenes will be supplied to the actors. Anyone interested in assisting with set construction, costuming or technical assistance is also invited to attend the auditions and submit information for future contact. Participants are asked to subscribe to the Porthole Players digital newsletter (at no cost!)
