The Avon-based community theater organization is seeking performers ages 18 and older for all roles in the 1971 version of the musical.

According to the group, auditioners should be comfortable singing and moving and interested in participating in a production centered on themes of love, hope, charity and compassion.

The performances are scheduled for the evenings of Aug. 14 and 15 and the afternoon of Aug. 16 at Avon High School.
