Production dates are May 6-8 and May 12-15, 2016.  Those interested in auditioning should prepare a song of no more than 32 bars. Please bring sheet music, as no a Capella singing will be allowed. Singing a song from the show is encouraged.  You will also be asked to read various selections from the show and to learn and perform a simple dance combo. If you are interested in a dancing role, please bring your tap shoes.

>>> Synopsis of show: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
