Casting call for OFP's "Opal is a Diamond"

So, there’s no time like the present to hold auditions for “Opal is a Diamond” will arrive onstage February 2024.
“Opal is a Diamond” a two-act comedy, By John Patrick, returning to our stage 10 years after it was first performed. Shelley Dowling and Karen Shumaker will be co-directing the show when Opal’s abundant good nature has made her the victim of another’s baser instincts, this time the
culprit being an oily, unscrupulous politician who is running for re-election as mayor.  But Opal, abetted by new friends and old, decides to fight back by becoming a candidate herself.
To the consternation of her rival, Opal’s appeal to the voters is embarrassingly great, and foul play appears to be the only way to stave off an upset. What ensues will keep the audience in suspense, and roaring with laughter, until an unexpected turn of events brings all to its happy, lighthearted and delightfully, satisfying conclusion.
The cast calls for three women and six men aged 25-65.
