Playhouse Seeks Superstars For September Variety Show

PLAYHOUSE SEEKS SUPERSTARS FOR SEPTEMBER VARIETY SHOW  

The Lake Worth Playhouse will hold open auditions for its semi-annual variety show, TAKE THE STAGE, on Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. Variety show judges will conduct the auditions at The Playhouse, located at 713 Lake Avenue in Downtown Lake Worth. Interested performers should prepare a five-minute audition piece that effectively demonstrates their talent. Group performances are also welcome. No previous stage experience is necessary. 

"Once again we're opening up auditions to all of South Florida," said Lake Worth Playhouse Artistic Director Jodie Dixon-Mears. "We've been so pleased with the talented artists we've discovered during past variety shows. Many have gone on to appear in our main stage productions or have been hired by other venues after appearing on our stage. We're hoping to find even more local superstars that we can showcase during this evening of talent and, hopefully, in other Playhouse productions as well." 

Performers in previous Playhouse variety shows have included singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, jugglers, variety artists and magicians. Many have cited the Lake Worth Playhouse variety show as a unique creative outlet and a great place to get their 15 minutes of fame. 

The fall 2009 show takes place on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. Performers must be available for a September 25 evening run-through and the September 26 performance. This is a fundraising event for The Playhouse and all performers participate without compensation.
