The Prior Players held auditions at the Arnprior Public Library last Saturday and Sunday for 'The Melville Boys' a Norm Foster comedy to take the stage in May. A second set of open auditions will take place this weekend both Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. in the meeting room of the Arnprior Library. Don and Colleen Lacasse read for parts Saturday.
Auditions will be held Feb. 6 and 7 at 1 p.m. in the meeting room of the Arnprior Public Library.
They are looking for male and female actors for their upcoming play. No previous acting experience is necessary.
People of all ages who may not want to act but would like to work on different aspects of the production (e.g. publicity, set construction, props, lighting, front of house, etc.) are also invited to join us at one of the auditions.
No previous experience is required and it's a fun way to meet people and get experience in theatre arts.
Students can earn community involvement hours by helping with the production.
