"You don't have to be able to sing or dance, and
acting is optional."
Magdalen Players is a community theater group started by St. Mary Magdalen parishioners
in 1983. St. Mary Magdalen parish is located in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Now in our 25th season, we do
one full-length musical every November starting with auditions in August. Magdalen Players is comprised mainly of St.
Mary Magdalen parishioners, but we welcome talent from any parish or religious background. Stagehands, artists, technicians,
singers, and actors are always needed. For more information, contact Magdalen Players president Peggy Dereak @jpdereak@sbcglobal.net.

Wednesday, August 27, 7pm- DANCE CHORUS AUDITIONS.
Anyone wishing to be in the select dance chorus will need to come to this audition. * Also, anyone trying out for
Reno, Bonnie, or the Angels needs to come to this audition also. The dance chorus will be featured
in numerous numbers and must have tap and jazz training. Please bring tap shoes and jazz or character shoes with you
to the audition. The dance chorus may also be included in the singing chorus if they wish. You do not need
to come to the other auditions if you just want to be in the dance chorus.
The chorus breakdown will be as such this year:
* Children's chorus- 4th grade thru 7th grade (exceptions
could be made for taller/older-looking kids)
* Teen chorus- 8th grade thru high school
* Adult chorus- college-age thru adult
We will have singing and dancing rehearsals on Sunday's.
Everyone needs to be available on Sundays. I will schedule blocking during the week after looking at everyone's availability.
I'm not locked into doing only Monday's and Wednesday's this year. We may block on Tuesdays and Thursdays if needed.
