OHMPAA auditions scheduled

AREA — Auditions for the large cast of "The Road to Eden’s Ridge, the Musical" are August 6 and 7, at 6:30 p.m. at Wheeler Insurance Agency at 15 Market Square, South Paris. All roles are open.

Oxford Hills residents Sally Jones and composer Steve Jones have adapted "The Road to Eden's Ridge, the Musical" from the novel "The Road to Eden's Ridge," co-written by M. L. Rose, who are Myra McLarey and Linda Weeks. McLarey is a former teacher at Oxford Hills High School who now lives in Tennessee. This production will be the world premier of the original stage play, but the book has also been optioned for a movie.

The story is set in Nashville and in Eden’s Ridge, a thinly disguised Norway, Maine. The original music features both country and Broadway style music, written to help tell the story about characters who follow their dreams but come to realize the strength of family ties and the power of love matter more.

Oxford Hills Music and Performing Arts Association (OHMPAA), a 25-year-old community theatre group, will produce the play. Show dates are November 9–11 and 15–18 in the theatre on the second floor of the historic Norway Grange Hall on Whitman St.
