"The Full Monty" Auditions at SLOC

Though the movie is set in England, the musical takes place in the 
present in Buffalo, New York. It is a story about 6 "down on their 
luck" unemployed men and their friends and families. One of the main 
characters comes up with an idea to make some quick money- to do a 
strip tease just like the Chippendales. But can they go one step 
further, all the way-"the full monty"-to attract an even bigger 
audience? There are a number of important and poignant themes running 
through the story lines- the sacrifices people make for their children, 
the binding ties of friendship, the risks involved in seeing a wild 
idea through to the bitter end.

"The Full Monty" auditions will be held at the SLOC theater on 826 
State Street in Schenectady on Tuesday and Wednesday May 23, 24. Sign 
in will be at 7:00pm. Please come prepared to sing 16 bars of music, 
preferably from the show. There will be no acapella singing. Please 
bring sheet music: an accompanist will be provided. Wear comfortable 
clothing as there will be a dancing as well as vocal and reading 
audition. A note to the adult men only: Be prepared to strip down to 
your underclothes during the audition process. But fear not- there will 
be no full frontal nudity in this production. Show dates are October 
13-15 and October 19-22. Rehearsals will tentatively begin sometime in 
June.
