The Towle Community Theater will also hold an Audition Workshop in preparation for the “The Fantasticks” audition on Saturday, July 7 at 7pm. The workshop allows you ask any questions and view the script and vocal cuttings used at the audition. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned veteran, the workshop is designed to make everyone as comfortable as possible with the audition process.

“The Fantasticks” is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. The musical features the hit song, “Try to Remember”.

Auditions and Audition Workshop will be held at the Towle Community Theater-5205 Hohman Avenue–Hammond, IN. For more information call 219-937-8780.
