Auditions in Wimberley for Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, by Ed Graczyk, February 6, 8 and 9, 2014

The Wimberley Players are holding auditions for "Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean", a comedy-drama by Ed Graczyk, produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

"Come Back..." takes place in 1975 as a group of women, quirky high school friends, who honor their promise to reunite 20 years after the death of their idol, Jimmy Dean in their hometown of McCarthy, Texas, a dustbowl remnant of days gone by. Their reunion reveals not only the depth of their friendships, but reveals the secrets they have guarded and built their lives around. Funny, intimate, dramatic... a great show for audiences and the ensemble cast of five women, ages 35-40 years.

February 6th, Thursday, from 7-9PM, Room 206 at the Theater Building of Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos. The Theater Building is a round red brick building located at the corner of University Drive and Moon Street.

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean is a 1976 play by Ed Graczyk, originally performed at the Players' Theater in Columbus, Ohio. The play revolves around a James Dean fan club that reunites at a Texas five-and-dime store.

In 1982, filmmaker Robert Altman directed both a Broadway version at the Martin Beck Theater^[2] and a film adaptation of the same name. Altman's version of the play was not well-received with critics at the time
