Auditions for Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks by Richard Alfieri, November 18 and 19, 2013

Paradox Players will hold auditions for Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks by Richard Alfieri at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, November 18 and Tuesday, November 19, in Room 17 at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Austin, 4700 Grover (click for map). 

Production dates are February 7-23. Rehearsals will start in early December. Looking for one female, 60-75, and one male, 35 to 50. A small stipend will be paid.

This warm comedy opens with a spry senior citizen welcoming an acerbic dance instructor into her Florida condo. Sparks soon fly between this gay man and widow of a Southern Baptist Minister, but with each weekly lesson the two become more attached.

Actors should prepare a one to two minute monologue. Contact the director, Matt Burnett, at 210 286 9728 or matthewcharlesburnett@yahoo.com, with questions.

The Tony-winning musical AVENUE Q is the hilarious and heartfelt story of a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York with big dreams and little money. He can only afford to live on Avenue Q but (good news!) his neighbors turn out to be a remarkably funny bunch of characters. Imagine an adult version of "Sesame Street," with the preschool banter replaced with irreverent songs such as "It Sucks to Be Me," "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist," "The Internet Is For Porn," and "If You Were Gay." But don't let the light-hearted melodies and adorable puppets fool you... This is NOT your child's favorite street!

Broadway at Bachus

April 9 and 10, 7:30 p.m.

Bacchus Center for the Performing Arts

8000 Anderson Square, Suite 112 (click for map)

Tickets $15. Reservations at (512) 45G-CLEF ( 454-2533) or visit www.BachusConservatory.com.

Twelve of Austin's top musical theatre performers will perform music from more than twenty Broadway musicals in Broadway at Bachus, benefiting the music education programs at the Bachus Center. Conceived by - and under the musical direction of - David Blackburn, with stage direction by Barbara Schuler and musical staging by Michelle Stuckey, a two-night revue will play April 9th and 10th at the Bachus Center for the Performing Arts.

Hosted by Robert Josef Cross, Broadway at Bachus features the music of Stephen Sondheim, Stephen Schwartz, Jason Robert Brown and other award-winning composers - performed by Eve Alonzo, Kylie Baker, Matthew Charles Burnett, Ashley Edwards, Jonathan Itchon, Stephen Jack, Becky Knox, Joel Mercado-See, Alejandro Rodriguez, Cathie Sheridan and Ryan Smith. The cast and musicians of the production have performed at nearly every theatre venue in the Austin area, as well as major cities across the United States and national touring companies.

Broadway at Bachus benefits the Bachus Center, a new non-profit organization that funds programs and scholarships to bring the arts to Central Texans who have limited or no access to instruments, lessons, and performance opportunities. Event organizers say the Bachus Center programs have become even more vital to the education of Austin's youth as many fine arts programs are being scaled back or even eliminated in the public schools.

Seating is limited, and the program contains some material that may not be appropriate for children.

Marion Froude is known for her many romantic adventures. Her Manhattan salon is a haven for the famous and infamous.

Written and set in 1932, this drawing-room comedy touches on themes just as relevant today.

CAST includes Lisa Foster, Bobbie Erb, Matt Burnett, Ariel Sauceda, Ashley Edwards, Mick D'Arcy and Tyler Lawson.
