The Waterworks Players' summer production is The Kitchen Witches, an award-winning comedy by Canadian playwright Caroline Smith.  The show is set in a television studio with a live studio audience.  Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Larry Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show, insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep the peace, but it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash.

Auditions will be held at the Waterworks Theater on May 16th and 17th at 7:30 pm.  There are two female parts for women between the ages of 45-60 and two male parts, one who is 30ish and the other role any age.  The Kitchen Witches runs June 18, 19, 25, and 26 at 8 pm.

The Waterworks Players next production is Jack and the Beanstalk, a British pantomime to celebrate the holiday season.  Beloved by children and adults alike, pantomimes are as much a part of Christmas throughout the British Isles as singing carols, trimming the tree, and exchanging presents.  As a popular form of theater, British pantomime combines song, dance, and slapstick comedy that are loosely based on traditional children's stories.  

Auditions will be held at 7:30 pm on Sunday and Monday, November 1st & 2nd at the Waterworks Theater. Performers should be comfortable performing for children, interacting with the audience, and singing (though the singing doesn’t have to be accomplished – if you can sing in the shower, you can do this).  We need a cast of 12.  There are many roles for both males and females who are 18 years and older. The show runs December 4, 5 & 6, 2002.  For more information or to volunteer, contact the Waterworks Players at 434-392-3452 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

In case you are unfamiliar with pantomimes, they are theatrical productions predominantly aimed at children that are based on a popular fairy tale or folk legend. Pantomimes have a number of conventions that are unique to this theater form.  For example, the leading male juvenile character is traditionally played by a young woman, while an older woman is usually played by a man.  There are lines containing double meaning, often wringing innuendo out of innocent phrases. Audience participation is also encouraged.  Everyone joins in singing songs and hissing the villain.  

Come out and help Waterworks create a new holiday tradition for Southside Virginia!
