Audition:   A note from Carolyn, the director – I’ve just realized that I mistakenly announced 2 different audition dates on the website and in our brochure, and now both have been posted on DSP’s Facebook page at different times. Ugh. We’ll honour both dates, so take your pick:

Tues. Oct. 16, 7:45 pm (if you read this website when organizing your busy life)

Characters:

• Peter ‘Petie’ Maxwell             50+
• Gail Jones, a black woman   20-40
• Eleanor Downey                     40+
• John ‘Babe’ Conner                45+
• Sean Harris                              50+
