Dracula Tickets on sale now
Imagination Theater! and Porter Media Group have been working nearly two years to bring Bram Stoker's Dracula to our stage with exciting film footage intertwined with the stage play for a multi-media visual feast.

This multi-media event provides the audience a new look at an old tale.

Dracula opens October 8 through October 31 with evening shows at 7:00 p.m. and matinees at 2:00 p.m. Purchase tickets online at www.it-tickets.org or contact the box office at (530) 642-0404.

Quilters Scripts Available
Quilters scripts are available for checkout at the IT! Box Office. Scripts are checked out for one week at a time. Please call the box office before you come as the summer hours are limited. Chrissie Addison, the director, says, "If an auditioner has time to read the script, it eliminates 'cold reads' at callbacks - helping the audition go more smoothly. Plus it gives one an idea of the flavor of the show." YouTube has many Quilters songs to review as well. "The staff of Quilters is very excited to cast this show. We welcome all actresses from 14 - 40ish to go for this challenge. Ensemble musicals are great fun and stretch one's skills as well as double the fun. This show is actual living history, as the script was taken directly from diaries from the prairie. E-mail Chrissie Addison if you have any questions about auditions at: foothillsinger@comcast.net

Quilters Auditions are October 23 and 24. More detailed information can be found here.
