Finch Series
On October 18, we will host the Second Chance Bluegrass Band, a bluegrass group committed to sharing the Gospel message. They delight audiences with their intricate harmonies while pleasing bluegrass critics with their high-energy acoustical music polish.
Finally, on November 22, we will present “Silent Night: A Song From the Heart”, an original play by Doug Brown, Chair of the Theatre Department at High Point University. This will be a dinner theatre event in Jarrett Hall. We will need Memorial members for this! Auditions will be held in early September for actors and crew.
Watch further information on all these events in the next several weeks.
“Silent Night” Auditions
Christmas Eve, 1818. Father Joseph Mohr, a young priest at St. Nicholas Church, found himself with a broken organ and no ideas for Christmas morning services. He found the solution with help from Anna, a young woman in his congregation and Franz Gruber, the organist.
Be a part of this compelling story at our dinner theatre on Saturday, November 22. We need actors to play the parts of Anna, Joseph, and Franz, as well as a Narrator. The actor playing the Franz part will need to be able to play “Silent Night” on a guitar. This play is written and directed by Professor Doug Brown, Chair of the Theatre Department at High Point University.
We also need crew for this event. Roles include Stage Manager, Stage Crew/Set Construction, Sound Operator, and Lighting Operator. Training will be provided for these roles.
Rehearsals will begin in early October and will consist of two-hour blocks of time. At least 10 rehearsals are anticipated.
Auditions for all roles will be held beginning at 9:00 AM on Saturday morning, September 20, in the CEC. It may be possible to provide an alternate time if necessary. An information packet that includes the script, a personal information form, and tentative rehearsal dates can be picked up in the Receptionist’s office.
Please direct questions to Tim Lyons at tlyons00@gmail.com.
Audition Packets are in the receptionists office.
