UPCOMING AUDITIONS AT CCT

THE FACE OF EMMETT TILL – A Play by Mamie Till-Mobley & David Barr III

Audition Dates: Wed. & Thurs. February 26 & 27, 2025 at 6:30 PM

Directed by Lionel Downer

6 show dates over 2 weekends: May 2 – 11, 2025

This play is a true-to-life dramatization of the death of 14-year-old Emmett Till, a Chicago teenager who, while visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi in August 1955, was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by two white men who claimed they wanted to teach him a lesson for “allegedly” whistling at a local white woman.

The horror and brutality of this crime were magnified even more when his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, made the fateful decision to invite the media to the funeral where she had an open casket. The shocking pictures were published by the American black press and later republished around the world. The ramifications of this act are still being felt today. The play chronicles this tragedy, its aftermath, and Mamie Till-Mobley’s heroic crusade for justice. This “hate crime changed America” and sparked the civil rights movement.

ANNA IN THE TROPICS – A Play by Nilo Cruz

Audition Dates: Tues. & Wed. April 1 & 2, 2025 at 7 PM

Directed by Xiomara Sanchez & Heather McRae

6 show dates over 2 weekends: June 13 – 22, 2025

Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, Anna in the Tropics is a poignant and poetic play set in Florida in 1929 in a Cuban-American cigar factory, where cigars are still rolled by hand and “lectors” are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration, but when he begins to read aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics and the American dream prove a volatile combination.

“The words of Nilo Cruz waft from a stage like a scented breeze. They sparkle and prickle and swirl, enveloping those who listen in both a specific place and time – and in timeless passions that touch us all… In Anna in the Tropics, Cruz claims his place as a storyteller of intricate craftsmanship and poetic power…” The Miami Herald

COMEDY AT CCT MARCH 14-23, 2025!

Caribbean Community Theatre continues its 40^th season with “Suite Surrender” – a farce by Michael McKeever. There are six performances over two weekends of this play at CCT: March 14-15 and 21-22, 2025, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM, and two Sunday matinees at 4 PM on March 16 and 23, 2025.

Michael Baker and Bob Gard direct the cast of Denise Blanchette, Rikki Cupe, Malerie Gleason, Wendy Keeler, Beth Moss Mahar, Todd Saunders, Robin Seila, Kelvin Vidale, and Terrillyn White.

It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance…that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.

General admission tickets may be purchased in advance online at Eventbrite.

For reservations, more information, directions to CCT, or for handicap assistance, email: eileencct@gmail.com. Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for seniors (age 65+), $15 for college students and CCT members; and $10 for students under age 18 and may be purchased (for cash only) at the CCT box office prior to each show, which opens 45 minutes before curtain. NOT recommended for children under age 13.

Performances are held at the Caribbean Community Theatre at #18 Estate Orange Grove in Christiansted, St. Croix.

CCT productions are jointly supported by a grant from the Virgin Islands Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

This show is also co-sponsored by Susan & Crystal Atkins-Weathers, J. Benton Construction, Christiansted Apothecary Hall, Marshall + Sterling / Baker Magras, Team Consultants, Armrey Industries, Crucian Gold, and Caledonia Communication Corporation/WSTX 970 AM.
