First for Freedom Auditions for 37th Season
 Auditions for the 37th Season of Halifax County’s historical outdoor drama First for Freedom by Maxville B. Williams will be held Sunday, April 29, from 3-5 p.m. and Monday, April 30, from 7-9 p.m. at the Halifax County 4-H Rural Life Center, 13763 Highway 903 (I-95 Exit 168), Halifax, NC 27839. First for Freedom’s first season of performance was part of our nation’s bicentennial celebration in the summer of 1976. The drama is second longest consecutively running outdoor drama in the state of North Carolina. There are acting parts for all ages, all abilities, all comfort levels. We are looking for behind-the-scenes help too – lighting and sound technicians, ticket booth, ushers, concessions, stage managers etc. Call Director Frankie King at (252) 308-7910 for more information.

First For Freedom Director's Notes |
|
You would think that doing a show a second time would make it easier. It might, if everything were the same as the year before. If we could count on folks doing the same thing as last year, donating the same things and repeating the same lines, then it could get easier. But wouldn’t that become boring? At least I think so. The richness of Max Williams’ script allows us to celebrate change. The picture of the world in 1976 when the drama was brought to stage for the first time is much different than today. Where once we celebrated a bi-centennial event, we can now look to this story and its real world timeliness.
