Auditions for the June production of Queen Milli of Galt, by Gary Kirkland, directed by Marion Smith, will be held upstairs in the Exhibition Centre at the Paris Fairgrounds at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 1, and Tuesday, March 2, 2010.
Required are: a male in his 20's and a male in his 50's; a female in her 50's, and two females in their 20's. Age ranges are flexible.
Based on a true story, Queen Milli of Galt is a romantic comedy with a handy supply of humour. This play is a genuinely witty exploration of unexpected love.
In 1972, the Duke of Windsor (King Edward VIII) died while living in exile. Two weeks later in Canada, an 80-year-old woman from a small town named Galt had her tombstone engraved, claiming to be the Duke's wife.
Flashback to 1919 as the Prince of Wales visits Canada. Bored with the pomp and circumstance, he slips away from his official duties and begins a romance with a charming young woman.
Winner of the 2004 Samuel French Canadian Playwriting Contest, Queen Milli of Galt is a charming story.
