Old Opera House Hosts Auditions For IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE 10/24-25

Auditions for the Old Opera House's 2011 Christmas play It's A Wonderful Life will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 24 & 25 at 7:00pm at the Old Opera House.

This is the heartwarming story of how George Bailey learns what the world would be like if he had never been born. We find in George Bailey an American everyman, with the ideals of loyalty, a strong work ethic and a love of community. When a quirky angel, looking to earn his wings, takes on the task of showing George that one man can truly make a difference in this world, we are all reminded that the love of family and friends is what is most important. This holiday classic has been delighting audiences since 1946.

You do not need to prepare anything and no prior experience is necessary to audition.
