Nancy Wilson, the play’s director, is looking for 24 performers over the age of 16 to fill the roles. The play is set on a dairy farm in the lovely Coquelle Valley, where the evil villain Franklin Basher "that terrible masher!" works his wiles against heroine Henrietta Holstein and her hero, Ferdinand Farinsworth. Will hero foil Franklin’s dastardly paln? Will Henrietta knit one, purl two until her dreams come true? All these questions, and more, are answered on stage at the Sawdust Theatre this summer! The Open House/Kick-Off Party will be held on Saturday, January 31 at 7p.m. This is open to all and is a very good time to get a tour of the Theatre and to talk to some of our Directors about volunteer opportunities. CAST Auditions: Sunday, February 1 at 2p.m. and Monday, February 2 at 6:30p.m. OLIO Auditions: Tuesday, February 3 at 7 p.m. All auditions will be held at the theatre, located at 120 N.
