All the world's a stage!

The Paul Bunyan Playhouse announces Bemidji area auditions for the 2010 summer season. Auditions will be Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Historic Chief Theater in downtown Bemidji, 314 Beltrami Avenue.

The 2010 summer season includes The Biloxi Blues by Neil Simon, Picasso at the Lapin Agile by Steve Martin, Bram Stoker's Dracula by Steven Dietz, The Boys Next Door by Tom Griffin, and Gypsy by Styne, Laurents, and Sondheim.

No appointments for the auditions are needed. Actors are asked to either prepare a short (60 seconds or less) monologue or to read from the scripts (sides will be provided). If you would like to be considered for Gypsy, bring up to 16 bars of an up-tempo song to sing. Also, please bring a resume and headshot (if you have them).

Cast breakdowns and more information can be found here. If you have any questions, please contact Artistic Director Zach Curtis via e-mail, zachcurtis@yahoo.com.
