AUDITIONS!!

Auditions will be held for the fall play, "The Phantom Tollbooth" on Tuesday, 10/9 and Friday, 10/12. Students should sign- up outside the choir room in groups of 6. Come prepared to present a short poem, though you don't have to memorize it. We are particularly interested in poems with complicated word play- think "Jabberwocky, humor- think Shel Silverstein, or fun rhyming/ rhythms- think Dr. Seuss. All auditions will run until 4:30 both days, though students finishing early may be picked up. Cast list will be posted on Monday, 10/15 and there will be a reading for those cast on Tuesday, 10/16. Kids may be cast even if they are playing a sport- schedules can be accommodated in most situations. Performances are 12/7-12/9.

Saint Louis Park High School Theatre
Presents “Idiot’s Delight” April 27-29

Written in 1936, Robert E. Sherwood’s “Idiot’s Delight” provides a prescient prediction of the start of World War II. The play takes place in a floundering ski chalet on the Italian-Austrian-Swiss border at the peak of European political turmoil. An array of international guests, stranded when Italy closes its border, takes refuge at the Hotel Monte Gabriele. An American showman and his bevy of burlesque blondes provide a brief distraction before global tension crests and the guests’ true national colors emerge.

Evening performances of “Idiot's Delight” are April 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. The April 29 matinee begins at 2:30 p.m. All performances will be held in the high school auditorium, located along the West 33rd St. entrance. General admission tickets will be available at the door: $5 for students and seniors, $7 for adults.
