If callbacks are required, they will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 6:30 p.m. The cast requires five men and three women, ages 20-60. “God's Favorite” by Neil Simon is based on the Book of Job in the Bible. The play takes place in a mansion, where a tycoon, his wife, a prodigal son, and a pair of kookie twins live. One night a messenger enters. Our modern Job won’t renounce God, so a fire is sent to wipe him out factory and home. Everything becomes a test of his faith. Having lost everything, the messenger arrives again to test him. The director of the play will be Elinor Hasty, who is the drama teacher at Apalachee High School and has taught drama for 30 years. The show dates are February 27-28, and March 1, 6, 7 and 8, 2009.
