Auditions For Dominion Stage's GLORIOUS! To Be Held 7/13-14
Glorious! is a comedy by Peter Quilter, presented and produced by Dominion Stage. The show is directed by Patrick M. Doneghy and stage managed by David M. Moretti.
The joyful Florence Foster Jenkins had a passion for singing, but a voice of disastrous proportions which left audiences crying with laughter. Spinning from her bizarre recording sessions, unbelievable recitals and an ultimate triumph at New York's Carnegie Hall - this is a true, heart-warming story about a group of eccentric friends who lived their dreams.
Auditions for this show are set to be held Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 14 from 7 - 9 p.m. at the Arlington Cultural Affairs/Theater on the Run 3700 S. Four Mile Run Drive Arlington, VA 22206. Auditions will be cold reading from the script.
Call backs will be held on Wednesday, July 15.
Performances will be weekends: September 25 - October 11, 2009.
