Sooner Theater to hold auditions for ‘Lucky Stiff’

To the editor:

The Sooner Theatre is holding auditions for its spring 2008 musical theatre production of “Lucky Stiff.”

Auditions will be held Dec. 3 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Dec. 4 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Call-backs will begin at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 4.

All auditions will take place at The Sooner Theatre. Those who audition should come prepared to sing 16 bars from two contrasting Broadway selections.

Please bring sheet music. An accompanist will be provided. A capella auditions will not be allowed.

“Lucky Stiff,” to be directed by Lisa Fox, is an offbeat and very funny murder mystery about an unassuming shoe sales man forced to take the bo-dy of his recently deceas-ed uncle to Monte Carlo in order to inherit $6 million.

The musical, written by Lynn Ahrens and composed by Stephen Fla-herty, is based on the book “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo.”

The role of Rita La Porta will be played by Jennifer Heavner Baker.

Performance dates are Feb. 29 to March 2 and March 6 to March 8. Rehearsals will begin Jan. 21.

Auditions must be scheduled in advance by calling 405-321-9600.

The Sooner Theater is located at 101 E. Main Street, in Norman.
