[NEohioPAL] Just Under a Week till Auditions for 'Plaid Tidings' at Cassidy!

*Audition Notice – Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings*

Book By – Stuart Ross

Music & Lyrics By – Various

Presented By Cassidy Theatre
Directed By – Mike Caraffi
Musical Direction – Heidi Herczeg
Choreography – Melanie Leibold

At first, Francis, Jinx, Smudge and Sparky aren't sure why they've returned
to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the
heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they're needed to put a
little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas
offerings are audience favorites, like their riotous
three-minute-and-eleven-second version of The Ed Sullivan Show – this time,
featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and The Vienna Boys Choir, as well
as a Plaid Caribbean Christmas that puts the "Day-O" in Excelsis!
