IMPORTANT NOTE: Auditions have been rescheduled to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 18. 

AUBURN — Community Little Theatre has announced a third audition night for its next production “Beau Jest” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17. Director Pat Phillips invites all interested actors to come to the session at CLT’s home at the Great Falls Performing Arts Center, 30 Academy Street.

The comedy is written by James Sherman and is a hilarious, heartwarming story about Sarah Goldman, a beautiful young school teacher from Chicago who is involved with Chris (Kringle no less), a great guy with just one apparent flaw, he’s not Jewish. Sarah tells her parents that she is no longer seeing Chris, but continues to date him in secret.

The characters are Sarah Goldman (late 20s), Chris (late 20s), Bob her escort (late 20s, early 30s), Joel her brother, Miriam her mother, and Abe her father.

To keep her mother from trying to fix her up with “nice Jewish boys,” Sarah invents the perfect boyfriend and regales her parents with stories of the man of her mother’s dreams. Eventually they insist on meeting the man, and in desperation, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to play the part of her new beau.

Unaware of the scope of the role he has taken on, Bob accompanies Sarah to dinner with her parents and her brother Joel. He quickly realizes that what he has gotten himself into is much more than he bargained for. It will take all of his charm, wit and improvisational skills to pull off the charade. But Bob rises to the occasion, and the antics that follow are only the beginning of a side-splitting tale that will have you rolling in the aisles, and wiping tears from your eyes at the same time.
