BROOKLYN — The Brooklyn Opera House will be hosting a summer community theatre production of “Mama Won’t Fly” from July 22-24.

This comedy is a race against the clock when Savannah Sprunt Fairchild Honeycutt agrees to get her feisty mother all the way from Alabama to California in time for her brother’s wedding, however, Savannah’s problem is that mama won’t fly. With only four days to make it to the ceremony, this determined daughter has no choice but to drive cross-country with her equally willful mother, Norleen Sprunt, in her vintage sedan.

“There are some colorful characters in this show,” said Deborah Kennedy, co-director of this upcoming production. “It is a cast of 8, (6 female, 2 male) but there are 24 characters, which means the actors can play multiple characters. This is also a great show for women. Often in theatre, the plot of the play is centered around male characters, so I like that we can feature and celebrate women with this show that will hopefully make people laugh.”

Auditions for this performance will be held at the opera house 7 p.m. on May 19. No prep is necessary, and actors will read from the script. Rehearsals begin June 20. Visit www.brooklynoperahouse.com for more information.
