HELLO, DOLLY! - Surfside Players Non Equity Auditions

And what do you do for a living, Mrs. Levi? asks Ambrose Kemper. Some people paint, some sew...I meddle, replies Dolly. With memorable songs including “Put On Your Sunday Clothes,” “Ribbons Down My Back,” “Before the Parade Passes By,” “Elegance,” “It Only Takes a Moment,” “So Long, Dearie,” and of course “Hello, Dolly!” Join us for a whirlwind race around New York at the turn of the twentieth century, as we follow the adventures of America's most beloved matchmaker!

Surfside will conduct auditions and crew sign-ups for the musical HELLO, DOLLY! on November 10 and 11 (Sundayand Monday) at 7:00pm on our stage. We need 6 leading women, 6 leading men, and a large chorus of all ages.

Auditions will consist of a short scene reading, a short choreography routine, and a short sample of a song, all taught on the night of auditions. Actors may optionally bring a prepared audition piece -- 60 second maximum; no script or music in hand; either E-mail an MP3 track to Bryan Bergeron (
bryaberg@gmail.com) by Saturday November 9th, or bring piano sheet music (unless the song is already from Hello Dolly).

Technical Volunteers may sign up at the auditions; if you cannot attend, E-mail Robin Pena at

Don't forget the opening of NUNSENSE II: THE SECOND COMING, Friday November 8th! Six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit, the sisters of Mount Saint Helen's School are back presenting a thank-you show for all the people who supported them in the past. But now, they're a bit slicker, having been bitten by the theatre bug. Things get off to a rousing start as the sisters sing Nunsense, the Magic Word, but before long, chaos erupts. Two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publishers' Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own. At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff. From the riotous bingo game run by Sister Amnesia to the rousing finale, There's Only One Way to End Your Prayers and That's to Say Amen!, this show will have you rolling in the aisles! Appropriate for all ages.

Book, Music, and Lyrics by Dan Goggin. Starring Miranda Kane, Liza McCluney, Tanyu Stevenson, Sharyn Tsocanos, and Dorothy Wright. Directed by Joan Dunn. Musical Direction by Mario Davis. Choreography by Jeff Ferguson. Presented by special arrangement with Tams-Witmark.
