Playhouse sets auditions


The Playhouse will hold auditions Aug. 4 and 5 at 7 p.m. at The Arts Council for the first show of the 2008-2009 season, "Proud to Be an American," a musical revue created by director Kathy Creech and music director Becky Vanden Bosch.

Act One music will consist of American composers and artists including Irving Berlin, Duke Ellington, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, The Beach Boys, Kelly Clarkson and Josh Groban.

Act Two will be all patriotic songs, including "The Star Spangled Banner," "America the Beautiful," "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and of course, "God Bless the U.S.A," and a couple of surprises.

The minimum age requirement is 16.

A cast of around 25 is the target, but that number is flexible.

Everyone who wants to audition should have a prepared song. An accompanist and CD player will be provided.

Show dates are Sept. 25-28. If you have any questions about the auditions or the show, please call Kathy Creech at 237-3417.

Other shows for the season are "Christmas Bells" by Southern playwrights Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten.

And "Noises Off," Michael Frayn's fast-paced comedy about a touring theater company's production of a farce called "Nothing On."
