We continue rehearsing for I Want it All! Running March 15 through 25 at the Off Center Stage, this delightful revue includes some of Nevada County's most talented performers: Nancy Haffey, Rebekah Martino, Janet Rossman, Dawn Simmons, and Kim Wellman (with Ken Getz on piano and Steve Nicholson on bass), directed by Susan Mason. The songs range from fun, to funny, to sad, to touching. We laugh and cry at each rehearsal (and sweat a bit, perhaps, too, learning the dancing). It's going to be great fun, and proceeds from the show will help underwrite Sierra Stages' other 2012 productions (Death of a Salesman, The Music Man, Assassins). For more information and tickets, visit the home page.

Thanks to all who auditioned (80 people in all)! The production staff labored over how to cast the show, given that we only have 25 actors in the show. There were so many talented and enthusiastic audtionees, it was difficult selecting the cast. You'll find the full cast list (as of Feb 27 2012) here: http://www.sierrastages.org/auditions.html. Thanks again!

We've had our first round of auditions for The Music Man, and we saw 30 people the first night. Based on signups, we have 45 or so to see on Saturday (we had better be efficient)! If you want to audition and haven't yet signed up, please do so, or just come by the Center for the Arts in Grass Valley on Saturday, Feb 4 between 11 and 2. See you there!
