Sunday, January 17 and Monday, January 18 at 7:00pm at the Emerald City Theater, 6799 Dublin Center Dr, in the Dublin Village Shopping Center.

In roles originated by Uta Hagen and David Hyde Pierce, this two-character comedy opens as a aging but still formidable woman hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her lessons in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. Antagonism between a gay man and the widow of a Southern Baptist minister gives way to profound compatibility as they swing dance, tango, foxtrot and cha-cha while sharing more than dance steps.

Readings from the script. Bring Headshot and Resume if available (not mandatory).

Columbus Children’s Theatre is looking for a Stage Manager for “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood.” Show auditions end of this month. Plays March 11-28. Contact Bill Goldsmith at BGShows@aol.com.

Monday, January 25 & Tuesday, January 26, 7:00pm
Callbacks - Wednesday, January 27th, 7:00pm
CCT STUDIO - 177 East Naghten St. Columbus, OH 43215

Directed by Ryan Scarlata; All adult actors (18+ and HS graduate) are paid! A frantically funny, Monty Python-esque retelling of the classic tale. This time around Robin Hood, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bulls eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you’ve got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won’t soon forget!

Actors should bring a current resume and a photo (snapshot is fine) and dress comfortably. Readings will be from the script. Scripts are available at our offices (177 E. Naghten St.) and may be checked out for 3 days with a $20 deposit.

Adult/ Teen - ROBIN HOOD (Dashing hero with a large ego); LADY MARIAN (Lovely damsel in distress); PRINCE JOHN (The head bad guy); SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM (Prince John’s cohort in crime); TOWN’S GUY (The local-yokel); LADY IN WAITING (Lady Marian’s attendant); FRIAR TUCK (Holy relic); WILL SCARLET (The wise guy); LITTLE JOHN (Big lummox with an I.

A piano and CD player will be available on site. Participants may bring a CD of music, sing a capella, or may sing from sheet music provided they have their own guest accompanist with them. An accompanist from the staff will not be available. The directing staff does ask that your choice of song be of the style of a classic Broadway musical number as that best matches the style of music for this production. Contemporary numbers will likely not give as best an insight into your performance abilities with respect to this show. At your choice, you may also bring a headshot and resume, though this is not needed. Please bring your appointment calendars on that day so that you are prepared to state any rehearsal conflicts you may anticipate.
