Auditions Set For Summer Musical at the Palace

Director Clare Cooke and artistic team members George Schram, Kristi Wink and Johnny Steiner announce auditions for the Palace Theatre’s summer musical Guys & Dolls.

Those interested may audition on Saturday, May 22 & Sunday, May 23. Auditions are from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. each day on the main stage.  Participants should enter through the front theatre doors.

Individuals desiring a speaking part should come with a prepared 2-3 minute vocal selection (bring sheet music, an accompanist will be provided–NO CDs), dressed to learn and perform a dance routine, and ready to participate in an unrehearsed reading from the script.

All others interested in participating in the chorus or in a non-speaking role will audition in vocal and dance groups.

Children, ages 6 & up, will be auditioned in groups from 1:00-2:00 p.m. each day and do not need to come with a previously prepared song.

Performance dates for the musical are July 10, 16, and 17 at 8:00 p.m. and July 11 and 18 at 2:00 p.m.  Tickets go on sale Tuesday, June 1 at 9:00 a.m.

Considered by many as the perfect musical comedy, Guys and Dolls takes audiences into New York City where the worlds of no-good gamblers and do-good mission workers collide.  When the fast and loose Sky Masterson and the uptight Sarah Brown begin to fall in love it makes for a wild musical ride.

Frank Loesser’s score includes classics such as “Luck Be A Lady,” “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat,” and “Guys & Dolls.”
