Auditions

RODGERS MEMORIAL THEATRE, on Saturday for Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats," directed by Ron Jewett.

Singers, 16 and older, will audition 9 a.m.-noon and dancers will audition 2-4 p.m. in Centerville Junior High School, 625 S. Main. For the singing auditions, come prepared with 16 bars of music typical of the show. An accompanist will be provided (no pre-recorded music allowed).

Dancers should be familiar with ballet, jazz and tap. Gymnasts are also welcome. Jewett notes that he and his production team are interested in both trained singer and trained dancers, but auditioners do not have to be proficient in both. The show will be double-cast. Bring a resume, current photograph and a list of any possible conflicts during the rehearsal and performance period — Jan. 28-May 13. Play dates are April 7-May 13.

These auditions are by appointment only (298-1302).
