January 6th, 2024: We are pleased to announce audition dates and times for our spring show, Talking With…, by Jane Martin.

Audition dates: Friday, Jan. 19th at 6 pm and Saturday, Jan 20th at 1 pm.
Cold readings from the script, though if you have a prepared monologue please bring it. Also – please bring a photo of yourself from 1980 or 1981 (or thereabouts). You need only attend one audition session.
The show will open on March 22nd, 2024. The show runs through April 7th, and we will not perform on Easter Sunday March 31st.
