VACT is excited to announce auditions for its winter play, Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van. A play that shines a light on those who aren’t the stars, but just as important, the crew. Due to a lack of wing space, the crew and cast of the Neighborhood Actors Summerfun Repertory Theatre spend their downtime in the parking lot around an aging hippie/now turned techie's van. Those looking for refuge at the asphalt oasis include: a stressed-out artistic director grappling for funding, a wanna-be diva who's realizing her ingenue expiration date has just about passed, a board member's nephew vying to direct the musicals with a Tarantino spin and the "I'm no chorus boy" chorus boy who thinks every show should have a kick line - including Glass Menagerie. These are just some of the egos and obstacles that fall into the lap of Mike, a nice-guy director who ends up with far more than he bargained for. Anyone who's ever seen a show may know these people. Anyone who's ever done a show may be these people. In the end, Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van continues to prove the old adage that somehow, some way, the show must go on. And it does...just not always as planned.
This production will be presented as VACT’s winter play,
February 12-14 and 19-21, 2026.
