KIDS AUDITIONS!

Remember that kids auditions are tomorrow! If you or someone you know has kids interested in auditioning for Wizard of Oz, it is this weekend!! Email Gil Opferman at gil.ann1@mchsi.com to get an audition time.  If you have emailed Gil and not heard back, we had some faulty email addresses floating around so we apologize.  It's not too late!

Also...we recommend you get to the Center for the Arts approximately one half hour before your audition time.  Doors open at 7:00!  If you still need a copy of audition music ("Ding, Dong The Witch Is Dead") you can find a printable download HERE.

We hope to see you tomorrow, and break a leg!

CAST LIST COMING SOON:

Thank You, Thank You Very Much.

A tremendously huge thank you to everyone that came out to audition over the past few weekends.  We had an amazing turnout of over 300 people and were consistently amazed at the talent that the central Illinois area has to offer.  We can not thank you enough for taking time out of your busy lives to audition for us, and we hope that it was a great experience for each and every one of you.

We wish that we could cast you all, but the Muni stage can only hold so many people at a time. 

We will be holding our callbacks for certain roles tomorrow (Sunday, March 13th) and adult casting will take place the evening of Monday, March 14th.  We will post our cast list (minus the munchkins who will be cast at next week's children's auditions) to this blog as soon as it is completed, so we encourage you to check here often to keep up to date.

Again, thank you all for your time and energy.  We hope that even if you are not cast in a show this season that you will come out and volunteer - there are many fun ways to be part of the Muni family.  And we also hope that you KEEP AUDITIONING!

Always reach for the moon....even if you miss, you'll still be among the stars!!

Oh...and thanks to you, we won't have to resort to casting these kids:

One Day More!

Only ONE MORE DAY to come out and audition to be a part of this year's exciting season at the Springfield Muni Opera.  Whether or not you audition for The Wizard Of Oz or one of the other fantastic shows that are currently casting, you won't want to miss this opportunity.

The last day of auditions is this Saturday at the Hoogland Center For The Arts and slots are filling up faster than we can believe.  PLEASE sign up ASAP. 

We want to see YOU!
