2017 Production Update!

Hello Folks,


Happy Holidays and soon to be New Year!


I will be posting the "sides" in a few days for our auditions, to be held on January 3rd (Tuesday evening... at 7:00 p.m.)

The auditions will  be for both "Timing" and "Play On!" 

All actors will be involved in the process...we will not be having a sign-up sheet.

It is strongly suggested that actors not be involved in activities that take away from the rehearsal process. 

Listed below are possible adjustments to the casting of "Play On!".

Peace...

Lys
