Director, Julie Busch has done a wonderful job with the 40 plus children in the show.  In addition, the costumes, the set and the music are great – all in all, not a show to miss!  “101 Dalmatians” will be finishing its run this week – Thursday through Saturday,

.  Don’t miss the show!

I know that there are some of you out there who really would like to be in a FUNNY play.  I have just the thing!  Pamela Schroeder will be directing our fall musical farce “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” and is looking for people to audition.  “Forum” is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written.  Pamela tells me that “Forum” is mainly an adult man’s show but that there are also good parts for adult women.  The show has minimal dance requirements and she says “it is a wild, madcap romp, fun for the actors as well as the audience”.  Auditioners should come prepared with a song to sing and expect some cold script reading.  Auditions for “Forum” will be held at the Malt House Theater on Monday, August 30 at 6:30 PM.  Production dates for “Forum” will be October 7 – 9, 15 – 17 and 22 - 24.

Speaking of talented directors, are you one of them?  The Hayloft is looking for directors for the 2011 season.  The season consists of a spring show and a fall show that can be any type of play (comedy, drama or musical) with a small or medium sized cast, our summer musical with (usually) a large cast and our Young Haylofters presentation requiring student involvement.  The shows, of course, need to meet the approval of our Board of Directors and be appropriate for our audiences.  Anyone interested in directing for the 2011 season, needs to submit an application by September 15 to be considered.  Applications should include:  a statement of intent and reason for choosing a particular play and time slot; previous theatrical experience of any kind; and the reason you chose the Haylofters for your play.  Send these materials to: Haylofters, P.O. Box 164 , Burlington , WI , 53105.  We hope to see a lot of applications from you!

or call her at 262-763-8602 to let her know.  Any donations are always appreciated!

Finally, our next board meeting will be held on Thursday, September 16, at 7 PM at Lenore Swoboda’s house – 317 Highridge Rd. , Burlington .
