Auditions were held: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 18th – 20th at 6:00 p.m. at Players. Callbacks, if necessary, were Sunday. We are looking to cast a wide variety of character actors to portray these zany roles. Bring your 16 bars of music (either sheet music or backing track) and be ready to move! We encourage auditioning with the song of the character you want, but any song counts!
