Please come prepared to read from the script and with one or both of the following:

A brief monologe appropriate for the 1930s-1940s (does not need to be memorized).

A musical selection from the same era.

Groups are encouraged to audition as well as individuals! For questions and additional information, please contact director Laura Meese at wantingmemories@gmail.com.
