Prelude to a Kiss Auditions: Audition for our winter production of Prelude to a Kiss, the 1980s play that became a 1990s movie staring Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan. Bring to life a story about the transcendent power of love and the meaning of commitment. Immediately after Peter and Rita exchange wedding vows, an unknown elderly man asks to kiss the bride. As he does, the bride’s soul and the old magically exchange bodies with the old man. The groom doesn’t realize until the honeymoon that Rita’s body is no longer inhabited by her true personality. He must find the old man and keep his love despite Rita’s new, less attractive packaging. You may attend either day of the auditions on Nov. 12 and 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. Kleber Kaserne, Bldg. 3232, 483-6626; 0631-411-6626.
