Go Dog, Go!

 

Woodland Opera House announces auditions for the production of Go Dog, Go where P.D. Eastman's classic children's book springs to life on stage.  Dogs of all colors, shapes and sizes live in a magical world where dogs are king.   Dogs in trees ... dogs out of trees. Dogs in cars … dogs out of cars. Eating. Sleeping. Snorkeling. Driving. Dancing. Playing.  It's a carnival of canine capers as the dogs delve into life with gusto, creating a visual spectacle for the audience to feast upon. This is a rollicking free-for-all of chi-canine-ery.  A big and little musical world of doggy fun.  Playwright Steven Dietz captures Eastman's story with a perfect balance of picture book simplicity and merry mayhem in this joyful celebration of dogs, dogs, and more dogs!

AUDITION NOTICE

 

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Oscar Wilde

This sophisticated and witty farce is probably the most famous of all comedies.  Its brilliant yet gentle attack upon the Victorian establishment is loved by audiences of every generation.  The plot revolves around the most ingenious case of “manufactured” mistaken identity ever put in a play.  Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolyn Fairfax and Cecily Cardew.  Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities – not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolyn’s mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.
