Freeport Theatre Festival will conduct auditions and interviews for its 30th summer season from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday and 10 a.m. to noon June 1 at the festival on the Steele Farm, 2498 White Cloud Road, two miles south of Freeport off Route 356 in Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County.

Many roles are available. The festival is seeking two leading actors for “Arsenic and Old Lace,” a male actor with the comic timing and sense of wacky humor of a Cary Grant, and an effervescent comedienne to counter “Cary Grant.”

Also available is the role of Pietro Barola in “Cauldron of Steele,” a romantic leading man, intense, physically imposing, with a heroic demeanor and sound vocal technique.

For more information, call Marushka Steele at 724-295-1934, or go to www.freeporttheatrefestival.org.
