All are welcome to audition for one or both productions. All applicants
must provide a current performance resume and headshot. An accompanist is
provided. To cover expenses, a $5 audition fee (cash or check only) is
required.
Rehearsal schedules are made available during the audition
process. All conflicts must be noted at the audition. Schedule conflicts will
influence casting. Only conflicts noted at the audition will be taken into
consideration. Costume measurements will be taken from all who audition. This
