Well, I am not so sure that is what you will get as either an audience member or an actor. I like to think that this group of theatre artists, including Sondheim and Lapine, think outside the box and look at things a bit differently. We look at this musical play not just to do it differently, but rather to take a look at an old friend and see how much WE have changed. *Audition Information: * *Auditions will be held on October 25 and 26 between 7pm and 10pm at Lakeland Community College in Building D. **Please prepare TWO contrasting Sondheim pieces, each16-32 bars long. Jordan Cooper, the musical director, will choose one of the songs for you to sing. **You need only come to one of the audition dates. YOU DO NOT NEED AN AUDITION TIME.
