Catalina Players will be holding auditions for their upcoming musical THE GOODBYE GIRL beginning on Monday, October 16th.


“The Goodbye Girl” is based on Neil Simon's well-known film about an unlikely romance between Paula, a bitter, single mother who has been jilted one too many times, and Eliot, the opinionated actor who shows up on her doorstep with a lease to sublet her apartment. It features the same unique humor that has made Neil Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway history. Add a score by Marvin Hamlisch, composer of “A Chorus Line,” and David Zippel, lyricist of “City of Angels” and Disney’s “Hercules” and “Mulan,” and you have an instant contemporary classic!
