Springfield Community Players auditions for “It Had To Be You”

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – The Springfield Community Players will hold auditions for “It Had to be You” by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, on May 7 and 8, from 6:30-8 p.m., at the Springfield Community Center. Performances will be held on July 12,13,19, and 20, at 7 p.m.; and July 14 and 21, at 2 p.m. The play requires one male and one female role.

This delightful comedy, to be directed by Gary Ammerman, is about Theda Blau, an out-of-work, ex-B-movie actress, a health food nut, analyst, and a would-be playwright who
has no money, and has been struggling desperately for three years to write a play for herself. She wants to find love and success in New York, when she meets Vito Pignoli, a hugely successful TV commercial director.

The play takes place in New York City, on Christmas Eve in the present time. The main action takes place in Theda Blau’s tenement apartment, which looks like a combination of a poor Dostoyevsky and Mae West.
