Openings in January, 2018

Auditions Saturday for
Mamma Mia! and Joseph
 
There are auditions this Saturday, Jan. 6, for two upcoming shows at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater.  Good Company Players will be casting for Mamma Mia! which will be on stage March 22 through May 20, and for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat which plays May 24 – July 15.

Set on a Greek island, Mamma Mia! spins a modern fairytale of a young bride-to-be whose determination to find her real father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they visited 20 years ago. ABBA’s timeless music infuses this enchanting comedy with nostalgia. Rated PG-13.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is Andrew Lloyd Webber’s joyful retelling of the story of Joseph, his doting father, his eleven jealous brothers, and his adventures in Egypt. Rated PG.

Saturday’s auditions will take place at 10am in Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater.  You’ll find more information at https://gcplayers.com.  If you have additional questions you can call Good Company Players’ business office at (559) 266-0211.

Good Company Players’ auditions for the next Junior Company will be on January 27 at 9am in Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater (1226 N. Wishon Ave., Fresno, CA. 93728).

Sense and Sensibility opens Thursday at Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre
