Springer Opera House auditions

It seems that when I run into people I haven't seen in a while, they have one question for me: "When are you going to do another play at the Springer?"

My stock answer: "I have such a good time doing shows, but I really don't have the time."

That's true. Besides, I'm old and weak, with very little talent!

But for those of you who do have the talent and the time, mark your calendars: 6-11 p.m. May 19-21 if you want to be considered for any role at the Springer Opera House.

You need to call Sandie Severt at 706-324-5714, ext. 100, to make an appointment for a 10-minute audition. It will help if you take a head shot and resume.

Auditions are for adults only. Anyone 16 and younger will have separate auditions at a later time.

All actors need to have a one-minute memorized monologue, plus a song if you want to be considered for a musical. You will have to sing something that shows off your voice. An accompanist is provided.

Here are the shows and what each show needs:

• "Menopause: The Musical," four women who are full-time actors.
• "Father of the Bride," seven men, five women.
• "Stand by Your Man," one woman, one man, plus an ensemble.
• "Peter Pan," a large cast of adults and teens who sing and dance.
• "Hamlet," 10-12 men, two women.
• "Big River," a large cast of adults and teens who sing and dance.
• "Charm School," three men, three women.
• Tours of "Greater Tuna" and "A Tuna Christmas," two men.
