Auditions for AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ Held at Super Summer Theatre, 3/30

Stage Door Entertainment, in conjunction with Super Summer Theatre, is pleased to announce upcoming auditions for its production of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', to be performed at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park as part of Super Summer Theatre's 2010 Season.

AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' is the celebration of the outrageously prodigious and musical soul of 1930's Harlem in a rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway's best. The inimitable Thomas "Fats" Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom, delivering that jumpin' new beat, Swing. AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original.
