Audition Announcement for
Stage Left of Georgetown Community Theatre’s
production of
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
By Michele L. Vacca
Adapted from the book by L. Frank Baum
Produced by special arrangement with Classics on Stage! of Chicago.
Saturday, February 25 at 10 am.
Cooke Memorial on the Georgetown College Campus
Jackson St., Georgetown, Ky
Open to all kids under age 18.
Note: All participants must be able to take direction and conduct
themselves responsibly on and off stage in a large group.
· All Participants should come with a short monologue or reading prepared.
· Younger children are welcome to recite familiar nursery rhymes or sing songs.
· Anyone interested in nonspeaking roles or technical positions should attend as well.
Please note: This particular production is based on the original book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. While some details have been changed, it is much, much closer to the book than the MGM film, and it is not a musical. Dorothy will wear silver shoes, and the witch will not be green. All costumes and scenery will be based upon original illustrations from the classic. See examples here.
If you are interested in reading a portion of the original text for auditions or familiarizing yourself with the text (highly recommended), you can find a free copy at Project Gutenberg by search The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Radio Gals
The auditions have been held and the cast has been picked. Rehearsals are underway for this upbeat feel good show.
Radio Gals
Book and Lyrics by Mike Craver and Mark Hardwick
produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Directed by Ashley Raymer-Brown.
Mark your calenders for
February 24th 7pm, 25th 7pm and the 26th at 3pm.
Production to be held at Thomas and King Leadership and Conference Center.
"RADIO GALS" is a musical by Mike Craver and Mark Hardwick, set in the late l920's, concerning an enterprising woman, Hazel Hunt, of Cedar Ridge, Arkansas who, upon her retirement as the town music teacher, receives a Western Electric 500 watt radio transmitter and begins broadcasting as radio station "WGAL". What comes out over the local airwaves is a small town diary, calendar, and stream of consciousness -- sort of a Molly Bloom crossed with the Farmers' Almanac -- with generous dollops of singing and playing by Hazel's "all-girl" orchestra, "the Hazelnuts", and that lovesick flapper Gladys Fritts. However, due to Hazel's habit of "channel wandering", her broadcasts are not always so local. And listeners as far away as Montreal and Manhattan can testify. Enter O. B. Abbott, Federal Radio Inspector, intent on rescuing the airwaves from gypsies like Hazel Hunt. However, Mr. Abbott soon falls prey to the blandishments of the Hazelnuts, and the Shangri-La that is Cedar Ridge. Inspector Abbott, it turns out, also has a fine tenor voice, plays a mean accordion, and in the course of things falls for the flapper... "
