🎭 AUDITIONS EXTENDED — Wednesday, August 5, 7–10 PM

Benicia Theatre Group is casting Run For Your Wife, Ray Cooney's classic British farce about a London cabbie with two wives, two homes, and one very carefully managed schedule — until it all comes apart.

📍 Historic B.D.E.S. Portuguese Hall of Benicia
140 W J St, Benicia, CA 94510
🕖 Wednesday, August 5, 7:00–10:00 PM

No experience necessary and no appointment needed — just show up. Readings are from the script, so there's nothing to prepare. Try to arrive by 9:00 so we have time to see you.

Callbacks happen the same evening, so plan to stay a bit if we ask you to read again.

Information on the play can be found here: https://beniciatheatregroup.org/auditions/

New to community theatre? This is a great show to start with — it's fast, funny, and the cast has a lot of fun with it. Come see what it's about.

Please share! 🎭
