Ready to laugh, grow, and tell a story that matters? Join the cast of The Boys Next Door!
The WCC Theatre will be holding auditions for the fall play production on August 24, 25, and 27, from 6 – 8 p.m. in Grayson Hall Snyder Auditorium at WCC’s Wytheville campus. The Boys Next Door by Tom Griffin is a play about 4 mentally handicapped men living under the supervision of an earnest, but increasingly burned-out social worker named Jack. The play follows the daily lives of these four people where little things sometimes become momentous and are often very funny. It reminds us that the handicapped, like the rest of us, want only to love, laugh, and find some meaning and purpose in life.
Auditions are open to WCC students, employees, and community members. All materials for the audition will be provided, or you may bring a prepared piece. No previous stage experience is required to audition. There are parts for up to 9 male adults and 4 female adults. Rehearsals will be two to three evenings a week. Those dates will be announced. Anyone interested in acting, costumes, props, lighting, sound, and set construction is welcome to attend auditions. Robert “Joe” Burnett will direct the fall 2026 play. Burnett encourages interested people to audition, and says, “If you have ever wanted to be on the stage under the bright lights, now is your chance to shine.”
