The Collywobbles Theatre in Plainwell is getting its start in the community by performing a reader’s theater production of “Love, Loss and What I Wore” by Nora Ephron in November.
The theater’s founder and director Carole Catherine said performers will not have to memorize lines; it will be a staged reading of the script.
Auditions will be Thursday, Oct. 5, from 6 to 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 8, from 1 to 2 p.m. at Ransom District Library, 180 S. Sherwood Ave., Plainwell.
Catherine said she is “seeking several women—age 45-plus—for an intimate collection of stories (that) celebrates women’s resilience in loss and brilliance in love, as told through deeply poignant and often hilarious monologues about clothing.”
She said rehearsals will be flexible.

Performances will be Nov 11-12.
Catherine said she recently moved to Allegan from St. Joseph and was in the process of starting up a new theater group in Plainwell.
“I’m looking for a permanent venue,” she said. “It used to be at the Box Factory down (in St. Joseph), then we performed in South Bend, too, so we made it a more generic name.
“We are planning an “It’s a Wonderful Life” radio drama for Christmas too,” she said.
