Auditions for
The Hallelujah Girls by Jones, Hope and Wooten
Synopsis:
Hilarity abounds when the feisty females of Eden Falls, Georgia, decide to shake up
their lives. The action in this rollicking Southern comedy takes place in SPA-DEE-DAH!,
the abandoned church-turned-day-spa where this group of friends gathers every Friday
afternoon. After the loss of a dear friend, the women realize time is precious, and if
they’re going to change their lives and achieve their dreams, they have to get on it now!
But Sugar Lee, their high-spirited, determined leader, has her hands full keeping the
women motivated. Carlene’s given up on romance, having buried three husbands. Nita is
a nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his
probation officer. Mavis’s marriage is so stagnant she’s wondering how she can fake her
own death to get out of it. And sweet, simple Crystal entertains them all, singing
Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics. The comic tension mounts when a sexy
ex-boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, a marriage proposal comes from an unlikely suitor
and Sugar Lee’s archrival vows she’ll stop at nothing to steal the spa away from her. By
the time the women rally together to overcome these obstacles and launch their new,
improved lives, you’ve got a side-splitting, joyful comedy that will make you laugh out
loud.
