"A vast armada of workers is headed to American factories to counter the Axis powers. Men and women by the thousands are putting their backs into creating the vast amount of mu*****ns and ordnance required for total victory.

THESE little darling are changing their aprons for coveralls and doing their part for the war effort! Nice going, girls!"

Calling all actors seeking a fun, Halloween themed opportunity!

Columbus Area Arts Council invites local actors to participate in the festival to help build excitement, lore, and mystery around the Mill Race Monster. Interested actors will collaborate to plan immersive performances that will help shape the festival experience. Activities include planted actors sharing monster stories with attendees, hosting spooky tours for both youth and adults, and more.

Festival Overview:
In 1974, something green and hairy was spotted in Mill Race Park. The story made the local papers, captured imaginations, and quietly became part of the city’s folklore. Now that legend returns as the Mill Race Monster Festival, a three-day celebration of art, storytelling, and delightfully strange community creativity.

Ways to Participate:

Planning
● Share your creative ideas
● Attend meetings to help plan activities
● Create scripts for tours and develop characters

Acting
● Share stories from original monster hunters
● Guide or enrich evening spooky tours
● Be the Mill Race Monster in costume made by local designer Susannah Lipinski

One Audition Down, Two More Chances Left!

The Jennings County Players are getting ready for our next production, Badger by Don Zolidis, and we’d love to see you out for auditions! Set during World War II, it follows five women working in a mu*****ns factory, balancing poignant, powerful moments with genuine humor as it explores their resilience and friendship. Seasoned director Sandra Eikleman is heading this beautifully written dramedy.

Casting Needs:

We are looking to cast a full ensemble of both men and women, ages teenage and up. While the story centers around the factory workers, a total of 9 women and 5 men are needed for the production. We encourage everyone to come out!

Audition Details:

- Friday: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

(Note: If you can't make any of those times, or if we need to do callbacks, we’re also holding an extra slot on Tuesday, June 2nd from 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM).

Where:

Jennings County Public Library2375 IN-3, North Vernon, IN 47265(We'll be in either Conference Room 4 or 5)

Sign Up:

To help us plan, please fill out the audition sign-up form here: https://forms.gle/NZ8zAKshfRqt9kpv6

What to expect:

We’ll be doing cold reads from the script with an audition panel, with no outside preparation required. However, if you prefer to look things over and prepare beforehand, feel free to email [email protected] and we'll gladly send you some rehearsal materials.

We will build and finalize the rehearsal schedule based on overall cast availability; you can list any conflicts when you sign up.

Performance Dates:

Performances are scheduled for September 18th & 19th at 7:00 PM and Sunday, September 20th at 2:00 PM.

Hope to see you there!
