AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT
The Bridges of Madison County
Director Christy-Russell Dobbs is excited to announce auditions for The Bridges of Madison County! Auditions will be Monday, April 14 and Tuesday, April 15 @ 7:00PM
“Francesca Johnson, a beautiful Italian woman who married an American soldier to flee war-ravaged Italy, looks forward to a rare four days alone on her Iowa farm when her family heads to the 1965 State Fair. When National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca's life.”
RCCT is so excited to bring Bridges of Madison County to Elk City! Our very own Kelli O’Hara originated the role of Francesca on Broadway and was Tony nominated for her performance.
