ANNOUNCING OPEN AUDITIONS
​FOR OUR WINTER 2020 PRODUCTION

Picture

Blithe Spirit


by Noel Coward

​Directed by Scott Gilbert

Performances: 
February 27 through March 21, 2020
at the historic ​Nevada Theatre


Open Auditions will be held at the following time:
​
Sunday, October 20 - 11 AM to 12 PM


If you would like to audition but are unable to make either of these dates, please contact auditions@sierrastages.org.

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages, this much-revived classic from the playwright of Private Lives offers up fussy, cantankerous novelist Charles Condomine, re-married but haunted (literally) by the ghost of his late first wife, the clever and insistent Elvira who is called up by a visiting “happy medium,” one Madame Arcati. Properly restrained British hilarity ensues.

Auditions will take place at:

Sierra Stages Rehearsal Studio at Peace Lutheran Church
​828 W. Main St, Grass Valley, CA 95945 (map)

Sierra Stages' studio is on the ground floor beneath the church's Fellowship Center.
Once in the church's parking lot, follow the building around to the right. Go past the church's main doors, and look for stairs and a ramp leading down to a below-grade outdoor "plaza". Sierra Stages' door is in that concrete area. 


Callbacks will be held at a date and time TBD. If you are called back for one or more roles, we'll email you with scheduling and other information. Not every actor who auditions will be asked to the callbacks, and casting some parts may not require a callback audition.

NOTE:  All roles in BLITHE SPIRIT are unpaid.

NOTE:  If you wish to audition for both BLITHE SPIRIT and SWEENEY TODD
, that's great!  If you get cast in both shows, your rehearsal schedule for SWEENEY TODD will not conflict with BLITHE SPIRIT performances.  SWEENEY TODD rehearsals begin March 2, 2020.
