Hamilton-Gibson Women’s Project Seeks Experienced Male And Female Singers For This Year’s Holiday Cabaret
The Hamilton-Gibson Women’s Project seeks experienced male and female singers age 14 and up for this year’s Holiday Cabaret featuring unique tunes and holiday favorites in a festive cabaret atmosphere. Auditions are taking place Friday, September 13 at 6:30pm, Saturday, September 14 at 10:30am, and Sunday, September 15 at 1:30pm at The Warehouse Gallery 3 Central Ave., Wellsboro, and performances are December 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30pm – also in the Warehouse Gallery space in Wellsboro.
This evening of holiday cheer is a 1940’s radio show style evening with an original script written by Lilace Guignard of Wellsboro. The story follows the events of a call-in radio show on Christmas Eve in the year 1940, and has lots of humor, heart, wartime news and local lore. Solos, duets and group numbers will be performed, along with period commercials and newsbreaks.
Singers should prepare the song “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and piano accompaniment will be provided at the audition. There is a copy of the sheet music for this song available on HG’s website at www.hamiltongibson.org/audition, and anyone auditioning can feel free to prepare it in another key if needed.
The show is being directed by Jessie Thompson, with musical direction by Anne Acker, both of Wellsboro.
