The Tales From the Altamaha folk play has announced that they will be holding an open casting call for their upcoming season at 6:30 p.m. on January 14 and 16 at the Blue Marquee Theatre in Lyons.

Tales From the Altamaha brings history to life as real stories from the area are portrayed onstage by a talented cast and crew. The play is based off of a combination of stories collected from the writings of Colonel T. Ross Sharpe and submissions from the annual 'Interview an Octogenarian' writing contest, which allows local students to submit stories which they learn from interviewing individuals in the community that are at least 80 years-old. These tales are combined with performances by the River Rat Review Band to form performances that share the true culture of the area in the most entertaining way possible.

This year’s Tales From the Altamaha production is titled “That Ain’t What Happened, Sybil!” and will be performed April 24-26 and May 1-3.

Individuals interested in auditioning to join the cast, crew, or band should attend a single casting call on either January 14 or January 16. For more information, call Lyons Main Street at (912) 526-6445.
