Anyone Can Whistle in One Week

We are a week away from Entr'acte's reading of "Anyone Can Whistle" taking place at 7pm on MONDAY, August 23rd at Sherman Clay Pianos (NW Davis & 13th).  There are a few roles still open, which can be claimed by anyone who wants (signing up for multiple roles is okay) at http://www.signupgenius.com/go/anyone

As always, you can arrive anytime between 6pm and 7pm to review sections of music with our accompanist (who, this month, is Mont Christopher Hubbard).  If you are still in need of a copy of the score or script (please bring your own to the reading), let me know.

"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.

"Good News" & "Anyone" Still Casting / "Anyone" Reschedule Update

The signup is online for our SUNDAY NIGHT July 18 reading of "Good News." There are still many roles open - especially for male characters. You may sign up for multiple roles if you would like. 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.

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.

ALSO: ON THE ANYONE CAN WHISTLE FRONT... We have a new date: MONDAY, August 23. Signup to participate on Aug 23 HERE. Lots of roles are still open on this one too!!!

"Anyone Can Whistle" to be Rescheduled. New Date TBD

Well, as much as I wanted to avoid a cancellation of our June reading, it seems we will NOT be able to meet on June 21. We are still short several readers. But more importantly, we are faced with a direct scheduling conflict with the Portland Area Musical Theatre Awards. It seems several of our regular participants will be attending the event (and our would-be accompanist for the evening, Mont Chris Hubbard, has received a nomination for his work on an original musical he co-wrote - congratulations, Chris!). So if you are simply dying to do something related to musical theatre on June 21, make your way to PCPA's Winningstad Theatre. Our reading will likely be rescheduled for August or September. All who have already signed up for roles will have first right of refusal once the new date is announced.

In the meanwhile, please consider joining us for our reading of "Good News" on July 18.
