The Chatham Community Players plans to hold open auditions for its 22nd annual Jersey Voices One-Act Festival, Thurs., June 2 and Wed., June 8, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 pm., at the Chatham Playhouse, in Chatham. Performances will take place on July 29 and 30, and Aug. 5-7. Jersey Voices has provided a venue for New Jersey playwrights to showcase their work since 1995.

They are looking for men and women, ages 20 to 50, and one Iowa farm boy – late teens to early 20s – to fill roles for seven one-act plays.
