CTRL+ALT+SCRIPT
The Florentine Players are excited to announce auditions for “Ctrl+Alt+Script,” a brand-new original comedy written and directed by Kirk Adams.

SYNOPSIS
Keith Becker, a struggling playwright on the verge of being blacklisted after a string of failures, turns to AI to write his next play. When his submission is mistakenly attributed to a legendary playwright, a small community theater leaps at the opportunity to produce what they believe is a lost masterpiece.

With auditions underway and rehearsals spiraling into chaos, Keith scrambles to maintain the illusion as his cast struggles to make sense of the increasingly nonsensical script. But when the truth comes out mid-performance, the company must decide whether to salvage the play… or let the deception collapse on stage.

AUDITIONS
📅 May 17th & 18th
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Florence City Hall

Auditions will begin promptly at 7:00 PM. Please arrive early to complete paperwork.
