THANK YOU TO ALL THE 68 PEOPLE WHO AUDITIONED. ALTHOUGH WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LARGER CAST, WE ARE UNABLE DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS WITH FLYING.

Script Deposit and Read through

Auditions are coming soon!  Hope you are getting ready!
Those who make the show will have a $20 script deposit they will have to make.  We have tentatively scheduled the first read through for August 2 at 6:00pm.  At this time those who are selected should be prepared to make this deposit.  Checks should be written to "FCOA"  you will receive the check back at the end of the show when you turn your script back in.

Ready, Set and Go!

Auditions are set, crew is in place.  We are ready to begin.  Looking forward to meeting those interested in being in the cast at auditions.  Come prepared to show us what you can do!

Please note that we are not auditioning anyone under 10 years old.  Due to flying some of the characters and the importance of that equipment back stage, we made this decision.

WE NEED HELP TO RUN THE FLY!  We are looking for a few strong people who are willing to learn the fly rigging system and help run it for the show.
