"Good News" Wrap Up / "Anyone Can Whistle"... Really, ANYONE!

Thanks to the willing and able participants in our reading of the original version of "Good News" on Sunday night.  The reading was delightfully silly, with nearly everyone taking on multiple roles, and, with one man lending his voice to a role, a great many football-playing sopranos and altos.  Simple songs, cute, but not very clever lyrics, and a book that, understandably was re-worked twice for the stage and twice for the screen.  But at least we've got another show under our belts now!


Next up is our rescheduled reading of "Anyone Can Whistle."  The new date is MONDAY, AUGUST 23, and we are still in need of filling a large number of roles.  Anyone can sign up for ANY role - we don't discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, ability to sing, etc.  Also, feel free to sign up for more than one role.  If we can't fill enough roles by the week before the reading, we may have to cancel.

The sign up page for "ANYONE CAN WHISTLE" is HERE.

Sunday's "Good News" Reading - GENDER BLIND CASTING!!!

Our July 18 reading of "Good News" will take place at 7pm at Sherman Clay Pianos (NW 13th @ Davis). We are not fully cast, but those who have signed up have agreed to cover all open roles. Currently we have NO MEN signed up, so the two male leads are still up for grabs. If you are interested in participating, you can signup at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/good5 .

As many of you may not know the show or its characters, you may want to look over a copy of the scrip and/or score first. If you would like to get you hands on a copy on one or both before committing to a role, please contact me at davidbaer@gmail.com.

As always, you can come an hour early to review music with our accompanist, KJ.

If you are interested in participating, you can join us by signing up here. Please, please, please share the news with your friends who may be interested - I would seriously hate to have to cancel for a second month in a row.
