AUDITIONS

The Arizona Rose Theatre Company will be holding open auditions for "YOU'RE A GOOD MAN 

CHARLIE BROWN" on Wednesday, January 11th from 6pm to 8pm at the BERGER PERFORMING ARTS

CENTER (1200 W. Speedway Blvd.) Call-backs will be scheduled at a later date.

 

The production will run March 10th through March 19th  at the Temple of Music and Art's 

Cabaret Theater. Rehearsals will begin the end of January.  This is a non-paying production.

 

Based on Charles Schulz's timeless cartoon characters, this revised production of Clark Gesner's 

lighthearted musical has new dialogue by Michael Mayer and additional songs by Andrew Lippa, all 

with the warmth and sincerity of the original 1967 show. From a bright morning to a hopeful starlit 

evening, vignettes on such childhood touchstones as Valentine's Day and kite-flying are featured.

 

Songs include "Suppertime," "Happiness," "The Doctor is In," "My New Philosophy," "Beethoven Day," 

"The Book Report," "TEAM - Baseball Game," and "My Blanket and Me." 

Those auditioning are asked to sing 32 measures of a song not from the show (be prepared to sing acapella,

 but if possible please bring sheet music – an accompanist may be provided) and have

 an, appropriate, prepared monologue.
