Auditions continue for ‘Six Dance Lessons’

SEQUIM — Olympic Theatre Arts in Sequim will hold its second round of open auditions Saturday for the March production of “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” by Richard Alfieri.

The auditions will begin at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Olympic Theatre Arts (OTA), 414 N. Sequim Ave.

Auditions are for these characters:

• Lily Harrison, the formidable widow of a Baptist minister.

• Michael Minetti, a gay, sharp-tongued dance instructor hired to give her dancing lessons.

In the two-character comedy/drama Lily, an “aging but formidable” retiree, hires acerbic dance instructor Michael to give her dance lessons in her condo in St. Petersburg Beach, Fla.

“Antagonism between a gay man and the wife of a Southern Baptist minister gives way to profound compatibility,” organizers said.

The show will run March 15-24; performance times will be 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays.

Auditioners will be asked to do a cold read from the script. Proficiency in dance is not required. Auditions are open to everyone, with no appointments necessary.

Those unable to attend an audition session are welcome to call 360-683-7326 to make alternate arrangements.

OTA also is looking for creative people to fill out the production team. Those interested in helping out behind the scenes are asked to inquire.

For more information, call 360-683-7326.
