The Virgin Valley Theatre Group and 2Nielsens Productions are looking for a few more cast members for the Fly Willie Production which is scheduled for performances on May 1st and 2nd at the Mesquite Community Theatre.
An additional Audition will be held on Saturday, February 14 at 2:30 p.m. at 150 N. Yucca Street in the Green Room right behind the theater.
Fly Willie is an original production written and directed by two-time award-winning director and choreographer Dan Nielsen.
Fly Willie is zany and comical and auditions are full of fun and laughter as no doubt the rehearsals leading up to the performances will be.
Actors/Actresses have some real opportunity to shine in creating their own one-of-a -kind character/characters; there may be multiple parts for some actors/actresses who feel comfortable.
Don’t miss this ground floor opportunity, come Fly Willie, It’s a show too funny to miss being a part of.
