The Carol Burnett Show was an icon on TV during the 70s.  The television family variety show is a fond memory for many, and now the Saline Area Players, under the direction of Tami Hindes, are bringing back the fun and frivolity of the good old days of comedy sketches with the Carol Burnett Show Tribute. 

Casting information:  We will be casting a minimum of 2 women and 3 men to play a variety of zany characters, but as possible, may go up to 14 people in the cast, having multiple people plays the roles.  You don’t need to look like Carol, Vicki, Harvey, Tim or Lyle to audition.  Auditions will consist of improvisation, games, movement and some cold readings.  You may be asked to sing some simple songs such as Happy Birthday, Yankee Doodle or something similar.  Be prepared to take a risk to make us laugh.  Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move easily.  Perusal scripts are not available, but feel free to check out Carol Burnett sketches on youtube.com for ideas about the show.
