Holly Edwards, the award winning author of the Sue McGrew, RN, mystery novels, has accepted an advance on a book in the Famous Foremothers series that will focus on her great aunt and Alaskan frontier businesswoman, Myrta Jane Wonders. Unfortunately for Holly, writers block has set in. She knows so little about Great Aunt Myrta Jane – only what Gramma Ruthie told her before she died. Her childhood friends, Chris Ferguson, hack writer for the sensationalist tabloids, and Rachel Hughes, natural foods caterer extraordinaire, have been with Holly through thick and thin; their help has never been more needed. Rachel recommends going back to their childhood escapades and brings along a Ouija board to contact the spirit world. The flesh is willing and spirits are anything but meek. Not only does Myrta Jane return, but so does her long-dead husband and a few tag-along spirit friends to tell Holly, Rachel, and Chris about Myrta Jane’s business, House of Wonders. Can Holly get enough information to write her book and complete the contract in time? Or will more wind-up toys be sacrificed to the great circular file as Holly confronts the reality of her aunt’s story? It’s just like the Alfredo sauce all over again!
Take a romp on the spiritual side with ICCT’s production of local playwright, Kate Aspengren’s House of Wonders.
Roles for 3 men: 1 (30′s) and 2 (40s+)
Roles for 5 women: 1 (20s), 2 (30′s), 1 (40′s), and 1 (50s+)
Voice over role
Auditions will consist of cold readings and will take place January 30 & 31 from 6:00-8:30pm in Room A of the Iowa City Public Library.

Based on Colette’s novel and the 1959 motion picture with a score by Lerner and Loewe (My Fair Lady, Camelot), GIGI transports the audience to the elegant atmosphere of turn-of-the (twentieth) -century Paris. A melodic, wittily literate delight blessed with such songs as the now-infamous (and very politically incorrect) “Thank Heaven for Little Girls,” the tart “I Remember it Well,” anticipating Sondheim in its wry melancholy as two former lovers look back on different versions of the same past, and the ebullient “The Night They Invented Champagne.”
The production is currently casting for the following roles:
- Gigi (15 and over)
- Gaston (mid-twenties to mid-thirties)
- Mamita (mid-fifties or over)
- Aunt Alicia (mid-fifties or over)
- adults of all ages for ensemble, smaller roles – NEED NOT BE ABLE TO SING (this is not a typo)
Auditions will be held at the Iowa City Public Library from 6-8pm Friday, January 6 and Tuesday, January 10.
