She Stoops to Conquer
March 5-6, 2027
Tony Lumpkin tricks Charles Marlow into thinking Squire Hardcastle’s country manor is an inn, with Hardcastle as the innkeeper. Naturally, Marlow’s condescending treatment offends his exuberant host!
Meanwhile, Hardcastle’s high-class daughter Kate, seeing Marlow stutter and stammer when trying to court her, disguises herself as one of the barmaids, putting Marlow at ease. He soon falls in love with her, ignorant of her true identity.
Kate’s cousin Constance plans to elope with George Hastings, if they can escape Mrs. Hardcastle, set on marrying Constance to her son Tony and keeping Constance’s jewels in the family.
Come and enjoy Oliver Goldsmith’s family-friendly comedy of mistaken identity, nighttime adventures, and clandestine escapades to see if love will CONQUER all!
Auditions Nov. 9-10!

​It is crucial actors and crew attend rehearsals; if you miss a rehearsal for a reason other than an emergency you may be dismissed from the show. Please look over the schedule carefully before you commit. On the schedule, list ALL conflicts you have for each rehearsal–those which can’t possibly be helped (Example: Nov. 16: No Lucy (piano) FLEX). Please proactively check ALL sports, extracurricular, work and social calendars and coaches and teachers, etc. Please make a note if a conflict is flexible.
Once cast, we’ll give more details about when each character is required at rehearsal. Some characters will not be required at every rehearsal; we will let you know as soon as possible any changes to the detailed schedule.

parent responsiblities
We are thrilled to partner with you and your child in bringing this wonderful Shakespearean tragedy to the stage and our community. We all know productions like this require huge effort, and we could not do it without parents’ support. Each family will be required to have at least one parent (or other adult 18 or over) on a committee. Please see the She Stoops to Conquer Committees page on the Parent Portal and fill out the six questions on your child’s audition form.

COSTUMES, MAKEUP & HAIR
Costumes will be provided for each character. Actors may need to provide their own footwear if it is a style they already own or can borrow.
Stage makeup is required for every actor. Bright lights and distance blur facial features, and stage makeup defines them. We will coach actors on proper techniques, but each actor is responsible for their own makeup application.
​
Hairstyles. We ask the cast to NOT cut/change their hair between their audition and the show performances, before consulting with the directors. With a period production, hairstyles are very important in creating the proper ambiance. We want everyone to look and feel attractive and confident. We will teach, coach, and provide materials to learn about the period-appropriate hairstyles. Actors are responsible for doing their own hair.
ticket prices
FREE! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has wonderfully lent their facilities for our production, and they don’t allow ticket or concession sales. Seating is first come, first served.
