Bring back some music of the ’60s
The Arroyo Grande-based Studio of Performing Arts and Studio Players are seeking a few good women—and one man—for SUDS, a ’60s musical soap opera.
Auditions are open for the parts of Cindy (a sweet, personable, possibly gawky girl who grows in confidence as the play concludes), Marge (a larger-than-life, brassy redhead with a sharp tongue and a heart of gold), Dee Dee (perky and overly enthusiastic, an eternal optimist) and Mr. Postman/Mrs. Halo/Mr. Right/Johnny Angel/and other parts (all played by one man).
For more information about the auditions, call 473-0377 or visit thestudioofperformingarts.com.
