The Sherman Playhouse Is Casting For Its Summer Production Of MAME, Auditions April 18 And April 19

The Sherman Playhouse is seeking 13 men and 14 women for its summer production of the Tony Award-winning musical Mame, with book by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, and Music & Lyrics by Jerry Herman. The call is searching for a cast aged between 7 and 70-plus.

Mame is the popular and renowned musical that features the fun-loving, wealthy, and eccentric Mame Dennis, whose life is turned upside-down when she becomes the guardian of her 10-year-old nephew, Patrick. It's the Roaring '20s, and to Mame, "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" Mame's wild and adventurous spirit will strike a hilarious and poignant chord with everyone who loves living life to the fullest.

Mame is under the direction of Craig David Rosen of Danbury and the musical direction of Sarah Fay.

The auditions will be held on Saturday, April 18, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Sunday, April 19, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Auditions will take place at The Sherman Playhouse, located at 5 Route 39 North (the intersection of Route 37 and 39) in Sherman, Conn.

welcome. No appointments are necessary.
