THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES - Williamson County Performing Arts Center

The Williamson County Performing Arts Center, 112 Everbright Ave. Franklin, TN, will be holding auditions by appointment for The Marvelous Wonderettes, written and created by Roger Bean. The production will be directed by Victoria Reed.

This smash Off-Broadway hit takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we meet Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy, and Suzy: four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! Featuring over 30 classic ’50s and ’60s hits, The Marvelous Wonderettes will keep you smiling in this must-take musical trip down memory lane!

Audition dates: Saturday, July 9 - 1:00-3:00pm; Monday, July 18 - 5:30-7:00pm
