Final Auditions Announced for “NUNCRACKERS”
It was brought to our attention that some confusion may have surrounded our early auditions for the winter show “Nuncrackers” and some clarification may be needed. We chose to hold auditions early due to the quick turn around between our fall and winter productions. To ensure there is no interference with our fall show “Dracula” we would like to get scripts and music for Nuncrackers to the selected cast and allow them to familiarize themselves before rehearsals begin on October 29th. The winter show will also have a few nights off, due Halloween & Thanksgiving, causing a shorter number of rehearsal nights. Based on this clarification, we will hold another round of auditions on Sunday, October 7th from 4-6 pm to be inclusive of those who want to be involved. If you would like more information please contact us at 719-384-8320.
