Scratch that Clarinet -- But we do need...

We found a clarinetist, actually a sax player.

We do need a trombonist and a drummer. Must read music well.

Call Carol Park at (520) 432-7853.

A Man & a Musician or Two

BOP is deep into rehearsals for Urinetown, the Musical, and, I must say, the show is coming along swimmingly. We've cast it well with a comparatively (for the CSP stage) huge cast of talented folk, all very well suited to their roles and ranges. BUT --

We need one more man to fill out the chorus, play a poor person and possibly a cop in the "Cop Song." You'll be playing for the love of it. Call Gilles or Rae at (520) 432-2901.

We're also looking for a clarinet player and possibly others. For the musicians, since you might have to skip a gig, there's a small stipend. Contact Carol Park at (520) 432-7853.

Chaos was great fun

Chaos Comedy from Phoenix gave a great workshop and performance last Saturday. In the workshop, we all learned a great deal about how to be both honest on stage and funny. The performance kept the laughs rolling.

Toilet News

Times Square "amenities" are getting attendants, culled from hundreds of starving actors.

See for yourself.

We are MOVIN'


Here's a picture of one our recent rehearsals. The cast is moving so fast to a good performance that I can't get a "still" picture.

We'll work on a video for you.

Stay tuned.

Urintown Rehearsals Rock!

We've had a week of great rehearsals for Urinetown the Musical. Carol Park has been leading the singers and gently but firmly bringing out the best in singers -- and a one who calls himself a "non-singer."

Choreographer Megan Tenney pilots mid-week dance rehearsals and is coming up with cool moves.

Everyone sounds great and looks great, and we're all quite excited.

AUDITION!!

I can hear Tevya singing. :-)

We held auditions for Urinetown, the Musical this weekend. We have some great leads but still need some men to fill in the chorus and smaller male roles.

If you're a man with time to rehearse and perform between now and February 7, get in touch with us. Singers and dancers preferred, but we have a music director and a choreographer who are both talented and patient to help you be the best cop or poor person or UGC minion you can be.

Looking forward to a great rehearsal period -- and even greater performances.
