This is the third show in the 2012 Winder-Barrow Community Theatre Season. The final show of the Season will be “Much Ado About Nothing” by William Shakespeare. Auditions for this show will take place on Sunday, August 19th at 6:30 pm and on Monday, August 20th at 6:30 pm at the Colleen Williams Theater inside the Winder Cultural Arts Center. The director, Terri Duffield, asks that each person auditioning have 14 lines of Shakespeare memorized (hint: a sonnet has 14 lines). She also will ask each person to sing a few lines so prepare a short musical selection. Only one person will be singing a solo in the show so don’t panic if you don’t sing well.
