All auditions will take place at the NSCP Storefront (next to Toys R Us) in
the Village Plaza, 19 Clifton County Road, Clifton Park. Ages 14 and up,
please.



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*!
