The North Platte Community College theater department will host auditions for its fall play, 鈥淏us Stop,鈥� in September.

The first set of auditions are scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Sept. 13 in the McDonald-Belton Theater on the NPCC South Campus. Another round is planned for 6-8 p.m. Sept. 14 at the North Platte Community Playhouse.

鈥淏us Stop鈥� was written by William Inge. The drama, set in a Kansas diner in the mid-1950s, examines the lives of eight bus passengers stranded at the diner because of a freak snowstorm. There are both romantic and comedic elements to the show.

鈥溾�楤us Stop鈥� is a play with a mixture of comedy and drama,鈥� said Ritch Galvan, NPCC theater instructor. 鈥淚t is a heartwarming story set in the heartland. In 1956, 鈥楤us Stop鈥� was made into a film starring Marilyn Monroe in the role of Cherie.鈥�

No previous acting experience is needed for the auditions. There are roles for five men and three women.

Rehearsals will be from 6-9 p.m., Monday through Thursday, beginning Sept. 27. Performances will be Nov. 12-14 and Nov. 19-21 at the playhouse.
