OKEECHOBEE — Local non-profit Inside the Mind of Addiction Inc. will be holding auditions for an original stage production called Inside the Mind of Addiction.

They are currently seeking actors, backstage volunteers, production assistance, community partners, and others interested in helping bring this important story to the stage. Auditions are planned for the first week of September, with exact dates, times, and locations to be announced.
