4 - 6 p.m. | The Miss Firecracker Contest Auditions | Blackbox Theatre
Come audition for The Miss Firecracker Contest, a Southern Gothic comedy! Its heroine, Carnelle, is an irrepressible young woman who thinks that winning the local beauty contest will restore her soiled reputation and make her somebody in her small Mississippi community. The family and friends who help her along the way are a dysfunctional bunch who tackle life in their own peculiar ways. A former beauty queen, Elain, comes to offer advice and to run away from her husband and children. Elain's brother, Delmount, has come home to sell the family home and provide Carnelle another way out. Wandering into the chaos is Carnelle's seamstress, sweet and strange Popeye, who falls in love with Delmount. Ultimately, these characters come to understand if the real you is not the fulfillment of your hopes, you will be more at peace if you learn to define and accept your own self.
