Rehearsals begin in early May, with performances July 17-19 and July 23-26
at The Common in Clifton Park.

Please come prepared with 16-32 bars of a Broadway show tune. No a capella
singing. An accompanist will be provided. Wear comfortable clothing, as
there will be a dance audition. (If you are interested in auditioning for a
tapping role, please come prepared for a tap audition.) This is a
dance-heavy show, and while dancing is not required for every role, all
must be “good movers.” There will be readings from the script.

Anything Goes is an amusing story wrapped around one of Cole Porter’s
magical scores. This age-old tale of boy-meets-girl and the complications
will intrigue every audience. It’s a wonder that all the romances are
sorted out and disaster is averted aboard the magical ship where Anything
Goes!
