ABAC Auditions for ‘The Hallelujah Girls’ | Events

TIFTON, GA – News release from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

Auditions for the Baldwin Players’ production of the play “The Hallelujah Girls” will be held at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College on Sept. 4-5 at 6:30 p.m. in Conger Hall, Room 319.

Auditions are open to all ABAC students, faculty, staff, and the community. The play will run from Oct. 25-27.

Written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten, “The Hallelujah Girls” is a comedy about five southern women who decide to turn an old church into a day spa. 

There are tons of problems along the path to achieving their dream, but it’s nothing that a surprise ending can’t fix.

The cast of characters includes Sugar Lee, the high-spirited leader; Carlene, a woman who has given up on romance after burying three husbands; Nita, a nervous wreck from running interference between her problematic son and his probation officer;  Mavis, a woman in a stagnant marriage;  Bunny, an upbeat and seemingly pleasant woman who is deliciously judgmental and passive aggressive; Crystal, a sweet and simple woman who entertains everyone by singing Christmas carols with her own hilarious lyrics; Bobby Dwayne, a man unaware of his rugged good looks with a deprecating sense of humor; and Porter, a good-hearted, gregarious boaster who doesn’t know when to shut up. 

The production will run from Oct. 25-27 in Howard Auditorium at 7 p.m. each night. The play is free to ABAC faculty, staff and students.

There is a $5 admission fee for the general public. This play deals with adult themes and situations and contains strong language.
