The theater is busy with multiple projects, as usual. This past weekend was opening weekend for “The Sound of Music”, with the show selling out all three performances. Tickets have sold so well that the show has been extended an additional weekend, December 8th, 9th and 10th. The cast is looking forward to these weeknights off as last week had two dress rehearsals and two dress rehearsals with an audience in addition to opening weekend.
Immediately following Sunday's matinee was the first night of “Sweet Charity” auditions, last night was the second. There were a number of contenders for the main characters of Charity, Nikki and Helene and the directors will have some difficult choices. Callbacks are tonight, but only for a few of the characters whose singing needs a second listen. The girls for the nightclub scene were shown a simple dance segment and they wowed the casting committee. After the cast is notified this week, rehearsals will start. In community theater, it’s always on with the next show!
