Let Me Entertain You!
Lots of folks admit to dabbling in theatre at some point. Perhaps it was a little Bye Bye Birdie in high school or maybe Plaza Suite in college. It was fun, right? But as we get older careers and families become more important than creative expression.
Ladies and gents, brush off your character shoes because there's a new theatre company in town just looking for people like you! Marble Stage Theatre put on a very successful run of Fiddler on the Roof last summer and will be presenting Way Back on Broadway for its second show.
Lucky for you, auditions are just around the corner. You can show 'em your stuff June 2nd from 6pm-10pm and June 3rd from 11am-5pm. Rehearsals start June 19 with the show being performed August 3-6.
Here's an abbreviated synopsis from one of the audition flyers.
"Way Back on Broadway" is an original music review. The story follows the story of two girls who meet up with Grandma Sally, the oldest living broad on Broadway, as she takes them through the history of Broadway musicals. The show features songs from every decade of Broadway from Johnny One Note, Oklahoma, Girl Crazy and Anything Goes to more current hits like Pippin, Les Miserable, Rent and Wicked plus many other favorites.
To schedule an appointment to audition, please call Marble Stage Theatre at 314-732-4003.
Here's the great part-they do not accept professional actors. It's a quality company for regular ol' members of the St. Louis community who want to make some music, play a role and goof off a little bit during rehearsal breaks.
See you there.
