Auditions for
Pins and Needles are from 6 to 9, Wednesday, June 11 at
Mercury Theater, 3333 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma, CA 94952. Please be prepared to sing a song, and please bring sheet music for any song you'd like to sing (chords are fine). You can prepare a monologue if you'd like, or just be prepared to read with us. The show's original 1930s cast featured members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union and Mercury's show will feature local union members and people who are in the process of organizing.
The atmosphere will be casual--we promise.
Cast and directors will be volunteers, but we'll make sure that cast members are not out-of-pocket for mileage and other travel expenses.
This show is an important piece of history. And it's an opportunity to educate our local community about the debt we owe the labor movement and the promise the movement still has.
Most of all, it's full of fun, delightful music and sketches that have been unjustly forgotten for decades.
We hope to see you at auditions!
