‘I Love You’ tryouts
SEQUIM — Two men and two women are wanted for “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,” the musical comedy to arrive at Olympic Theatre Arts in January, so auditions are set for two days next month: Saturday, Nov. 8, at 1 p.m., and Monday, Nov. 10, at 6:30 p.m.
Both tryouts will be at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave.
“It’s an incredibly fast-paced production all about love,” said director Pat Owens.
“If you’re the sort of actor who likes running your tail off, changing characters (and costumes) in the blink of an eye, singing a song like there’s no tomorrow and having a heck of a lot of fun doing it, then this is the show for you.”
Each cast member in “I Love You” will play up to 18 characters ranging in age from 7 to 70, as the musical explores the Adam and Eve story, courtship, marriage, family trips and sex
Auditions will consist of cold readings plus the singing of one verse from a song of the performer’s choice but not a number from “I Love You.”
Owens and musical director Valerie Lape will bring “I Love You” to OTA from Jan. 30 to Feb. 15.
For more information, phone the OTA office between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays at 360-683-7326.
