There are parts for two singers, one female and one male, plus a guitar player and a harmonica player.
The auditions will consist of cold readings. Singers and musicians should provide music from the play to perform.
The play will be directed by Peter Simmel, theater professor from UMF. Performance dates will be Jan. 15-17, and 22-25.
