UPDATE: 'Music Man' Auditions in Beaumont

Editor's Note: This report includes updated audition hours for Saturday, Oct. 1.

A live theater group based in the San Gorgonio Pass is looking for actors, singers, dancers, and musicians to stage Meredith Willson's "Music Man" in November.

A Repertory Theatre plans to hold auditions for the musical, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at St. Stephens Episcopal Church, 225 E. 8th St., in Beaumont, an organizer said.

Call backs will be 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, said Mary Kay Switzer, founder of the Repertory Theatre group.

Singers, keyboardists and other musicians should bring their own audition selections, Switzer said. Script materials will be provided.

Performances are slated for the third weekend in November, Switzer said. The venue has yet to be determined, Switzer said Monday in a phone interview.

The original production of Willson's "Music Man" ran from 1957 to 1961 on Broadway for a total of 1,375 performances and it won several Tony Awards, including Best Musical, according to the Indiana University Department of Theatre & Drama.

Repertory Theatre performances are for a designated charity, Switzer said.
