Actors Needed for TDW’s SNOOPY

The Drama Workshop is having further auditions for the characters of Linus and Snoopy in SNOOPY! THE MUSICAL on Saturday, August 4 at 2pm at The Glenmore Playhouse.

Please bring 16 to 32 bars of music in the fun, up-tempo style of the show and be prepared to move.

The character of Snoopy must be a “song and dance man” as he has 4 major solos and many featured “bits” in the show. Linus has a major number revolving around the Pumpkin Patch and appears in many other numbers.

While singing is important, much more of the casting revolves around the actor’s ability to portray the big iconic characters we know and love.

Interested actors should contact Gretchen Gantner at GRoose1876@aol.com or 513.470.5516 for further info.

Production dates are October 5 – 21, 2012.

Co-Operation is the Key to a Successful Opening

Cheviot, Ohio – 7/11/12 – The Drama Workshop has purchased their own theater space and will open their first show in October of this year. In renovating the former Glenmore Bowl, we have quickly discovered the amount of blood, sweat, and tears it will take to get it off the ground.

The group’s volunteers are logging in over one hundred hours a weekend and have completed the demolition phase. With the entry of the construction phase of the ambitious and exciting project, we are now reaching out to the rest of the Cincinnati theatre community.

Ray Persing, our Building Committee Chairman is willing to train. “If you want to learn how to do traditional plasterwork, install a drop ceiling, build a wall using metal framing, or hang and mud drywall, this is a great place to learn how. Before you try it on your house, come practice on ours!”

There is plenty of work for the non-skilled laborer as well: cleaning, painting, holding up ladders, scaffolding and walls! “There is nothing you can screw up.” Mr. Persing is fond of saying. “Even two hours is valuable.”

Please consider this as an opportunity for your group to spend a few hours together during the off-season and a chance to learn something new. You will be entered into our Gatlinburg Getaway drawing, and we will provide lunch and beverages. The building is climate controlled with adjacent parking. Contact us with any questions or to reserve your spot today!

Contact: Ray Persing at trpersing@gmail.com or Rusty Lacy at rustyjoy@gmail.com and 513.253.4527.
