to portray 20

                          characters – men, women, children and pets - in
this fast-paced, very

                          funny show.



    The production requires stamina, along with the ability to change roles

    at breakneck speed and create inventive voices for the characters.



    Those auditioning will be asked to read specific scenes from the

                             script.  Please see the story and character
