Renowned playwright Eugene O'Neill's only comedy "Ah, Wilderness!" revolves around the Miller family in the New England of the 1910s.

The cast is comprised of 14 characters and is relatively evenly split between male and female roles. The roles cover a variety of ages. Large and small parts are available.  Auditions are open to the college community and to area residents as well, Clovis noted.
