Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable “king of cool” Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli.

The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hangout, Arnold’s, is in danger of demolition. So the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and a TV-worthy wrestling match. Even Pinky Tuscadero, Fonzie’s childhood sweetheart, returns to help. Return to the days of 1959 Milwaukee complete with varsity sweaters, hula hoops, and jukebox sock-hoppin’ fun. This perfectly family friendly musical will have you rockin’ and rollin’ all week long!

THE AUDITION PROCESS

Each director conducts auditions a little differently but, for the most part, it is a pretty simple process.  Newcomers are welcome and no previous experience is required.  For musicals, each person should prepare a song that showcases his/her vocal abilities and bring an accompaniment CD; a capella auditions are also fine.  Small groups may be called to the stage to do cold readings from the script to give the director a feel for how individuals work together.  For musicals it's possible that there may be some simple choreography to learn.
