Announcing auditions for the premiere of a new play by local playwright S. Joshua Mendel. Directed by Jerry C. Jaffe.</div>

“The Show!” is comedy/drama that paints a picture of life in an anachronistic health food store, through highlighting the eccentric staff and the often “Looney Tune” customers who come and go. Although often laugh-out-loud funny, the play makes serious forays
into health care, race and gender relations, entrepreneurship, Buddhism, and moving on in life. (Even after death.)</div>

Auditions are open to anyone in our community. When possible, all casting is made without regard to gender, race, disability, or age. Note, in the case of some roles, the play highlights multi-generational relationships and includes the implications of gender,
race, and age of the characters. The auditions themselves will be based primarily on improv, as well as reading some scenes as provided. Come dressed to play and with a ton of creative energy. Singers, dancers, or “other talents” may provide additional material.<br>
