ASHTABULA — Auditions for “Forbidden Broadway” will be Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m.
Come prepared with a vocal selection and a monologue of about 90 seconds plus a list of conflicts.
Created and written by Gerard Alessandrini and directed by Kim Godfrey of Perry, this satirical review spoofs show tunes, characters and plots of contemporary and current Broadway musicals and was such a popular show on Broadway that it ran for 27 years.
It was rewritten several times to include parodies of newer shows, including “Phantom of the Opera,” “Wicked,” “Les Mis,” “Hairspray,” “The Lion King,” and many more. Performances will be held on Jan. 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 2010.
Auditions for “The Diary of Anne Frank” will be Nov. 30 and Dec. 2 at 6 p.m. Readings will be from the script. Bring a list of conflicts.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, Critics Circle Award, and virtually every other coveted prize of the theatre, “The Diary of Anne Frank” by Frances Goodrich & Albert Hackett, and newly adapted by Wendy Kesselman will bring to life the true World War II story of the Jewish girl whose family hides in an attic in hopes of escaping the Nazis. Tender, amusing, enlightening, and moving “The Diary of Anne Frank,” directed by Stephen Rhodes of Conneaut, will be performed Feb. 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 2010
Auditions for “You Can't Take It With You” will be Jan. 3, from 1 to 3 and Jan. 4 and 5, from 6 to 8 p.m. Readings will be from the script. Bring conflict list.
The cheerfully eccentric Vanderhof clan are a zany bunch who pursue whatever activity seizes their passion in Moss Hart's and George S. Kaufman's “You Can't Take it With You.” When their daughter, Alice, announces her boyfriend's rich, conservative parents are coming to dinner; the family agrees to act “normal.”
But when the prospective in-laws show up on the wrong night…the fireworks fly! Directed by Clay Nielsen of Madison, the show will be performed on March 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 2010.

Saving whales becomes delightful family film
WEEKENDER for Feb. 3, 2012: The title isn’t an exaggeration.
