Butts Acting Guild

Call out to our over 55 crowd - Help us show our community that the “55 and over” crowd have still got it! 💃🕺✨

The curtain is getting ready to rise on Singin’ in the Rain Sr., and we’re looking for talented, energetic, fun-loving performers ready to step into the spotlight! Whether you’ve been on stage before or always wanted to give it a try, this is your chance to sing, dance, laugh, and prove that passion doesn’t come with an age limit.

Because talent doesn’t retire… and neither does fun. ☔🎭

Other pluses:
Shorter show time (1hr) and fewer performances (2)
As a result, shorter and less frequent rehearsals than a full-scale production (2 hrs, 3x week, daytime and evening options)
Memorization of lines and lyrics not required for certain roles

🎶 Audition details on flyer below

Come help us show everyone that the show is just getting started!

Auditions were fantastic last night! We saw some great actors. We will have auditions again tonight so we hope to see you there! There’s no need to have anything prepared so come out and “play!”

Butts Acting Guild is holding auditions for Savannah Sipping Society on May 18 and 19 at the Butts County Recreation Center (576 Ernest Biles Drive, Jackson) from 6:30-8:30. Performances will be August 21-23. Auditions will be cold reads from the script.

Characters:
Randa (plays 49) Randa is a perfectionist and workaholic, struggling with a surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals she has no life and no idea how to get one.
Dot (plays 69) Dot is still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of their plans for an idyllic retirement. She also faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch-and all alone.
Marlafaye (plays 57) Earthy and boisterous, Marlafaye is a good ‘ol’ Texas gal. She has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a 23 year old dental hygienist. The strength of her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreck revenge on her ex.
Jinx (plays 53) Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire, offers her much needed services as a life coach for these women. However, blinded by her determination and efforts to get their lives on track, she overlooks the fact that’s she’s the one most in need of advice.

Auditions are today! Come out and “play!”

🎭 Are you 55 or older? Come Audition for Singin’ in the Rain, Sr. 🎶

Butts Acting Guild is inviting folks age 55 and older to be part of our fall production, performing September 26 & 27 at Thomas Persons Hall!

🤝 In partnership with the Butts County Senior Center (with Jasper County invited to join!)

This abbreviated version of the classic musical runs just over one hour and features a lighter rehearsal schedule than a traditional full-length production, making it an ideal opportunity for those who may not be able to commit to more demanding schedules.

Choreography and vocal expectations will be adapted to suit each performer’s ability and comfort level.

🎤 Vocal Auditions are VIRTUAL
Submit your singing audition separately as part of the process.

📅 In-Person Auditions (Reading & Movement):
June 2 & June 4
🕧 12:30–2:30 PM OR 🌙 6:30–8:00 PM
📍 Butts County Senior Center, Jackson, GA

In-person auditions will include a cold reading and light choreography—no experience required!

👉 Full details + how to submit your vocal audition:

Featuring classic songs like *“Good Morning”* and *“Singin’ in the Rain,”* this is your chance to step into the spotlight and have some fun! ☔

🎭 We’d love YOUR input!

As we continue to grow, we’re always looking for ways to create the best possible experience for our audiences and be good stewards of our resources.

We’re considering moving some of our smaller productions to Thomas Persons Hall in Jasper County. This venue offers the opportunity to offer concessions in the lobby before the show and during intermission (but not in the auditorium) and perform in a more intimate setting, which can make for a richer, more engaging theater experience—while also being more affordable for us to produce in.

Before making our final decision, we’d appreciate hearing from you.

👉 Would you attend a BAG show at Thomas Persons Hall?
👉 Do you prefer the Butts County Performing Arts Center, or are you open to a more intimate venue?
👉 What matters most to you when choosing to attend one of our productions?

Your feedback helps shape the future of the Butts Acting Guild, and we’re so grateful for your continued support 💛

Drop your thoughts in the comments or message us directly!

Hey, we made the news again….

“Great things are happening in the BAG!”
