“Our motto is: If you can talk, you can sing; if you can walk, you can dance,” said Executive Producer Gloria Zigner. “It’s not often you can have the time of your life entertaining thousands of people while raising money for a wonderful cause – help us hit that $5 million mark!”

Audition Information

Anyone 21 and older who lives in Orange County is invited to audition – no theatrical experience is required! Participants need only attend one of the auditions, to be held in groups. If interested in a solo part, participants need to bring music for the pianist or a tape. Wear comfortable clothing. For more info, call Lois Augustine at (714) 532-8690.

Rehearsals will be held Saturdays and Wednesday evenings at 3420 Bristol St., Costa Mesa (across from South Coast Plaza on the corner of Bristol and Sunflower, California Bank & Trust – 4th Floor). The number of rehearsals participants will attend is determined by the production numbers they appear in and the size of their role. The first all-cast meeting will be held at the Island Hotel on Saturday, November 14 at 10 a.m.

Every cast member is required to raise a minimum of $1,000 through sponsorships, tickets and/or ads sales. Cameo sponsorship roles have a minimum number of rehearsals. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available.
