Chetco Pelican Players Hold Auditions for “The Villain Wore a Dirty Shirt”

The Chetco Pelican Players are holding auditions December 28 and 29 for The Villain Wore a Dirty Shirt, the first play of their 2022 season. Set in California at the height of Gold Rush era, this light-hearted melodrama is full of camp and humor.

In the mining town of Digalittledeeper, local con artist Phineas Flatworm has his eye on the “Tub and Scrub,” the most successful laundry business in town. After the Tub and Scrub’s owner mysteriously dies, Phineas inherits the business–and a wave of arson wipes out the other laundries in town!

Can Sheriff Jack B. Nimble and Sweet Sally bring the villain to justice? Maybe so–but the fighting WILL get dirty.

At least 4 men and 7 women are needed for a variety of roles. Teens and adults of all ages welcome!

We are also seeking singers, dancers, and creative comedians for classic oleo acts, which will entertain audience members between Acts 1 and 2.

Audition Dates: December 28 & 29, 6:30 PM at The Chetco Playhouse, 1240 Chetco Avenue, Brookings

Show Dates: February 11 – 27
