"White Christmas" auditions are this weekend!

Auditions for the classic holiday musical "White Christmas" are coming up this weekend! Director Bob Garrigues gives some advice for potential cast members.

GCP Girl: Why did you want to direct "White Christmas"?
BG: "White Christmas" is a show I have known for a long time. It is a lovely presentation with great themes, and is just perfect for the Christmas holidays. I love to work with Ted Lewis and look forward to mounting this show. We did “Singing in the Rain” together and had a glorious time.

GCP Girl: What is your vision for this show?
BG: My vision is to tell the story of comradeship, love and Christmas in all its wonderment. We want to present all the ingredients of stage craft that make a show visually appealing. With the help of the talented Carol McCoy, we will bring great music and performance to the Vam York stage.

GCP Girl: Why should people audition for this show?
BG: You will be treated in a professional fashion, be a part of a great show, and have a wonderful experience.

GCP Girl: Is there anything specific you are looking for in the actors who audition? If someone wants to impress you, what should she or he do?
BG: Talent, natural, willingness to work and be a team player. Just be yourself -- no pretenses and false airs.

GCP Girl: Any songs you do NOT want to hear?
BG: Sing what you would like and that demonstrates best your talent and skills. I hate “Tits and Ass” from "A Chorus Line."

GCP Girl: Anything you'd like to add?
BG: Please come and let us get to see and hear you. Everyone will have an equal opportunity.

Thanks, Bob! Auditions are Sunday, September 16 and Monday, September 17 at 7 p.m. at the Vam York Theater.  For more general audition tips, check out this post.  See you there!
