SUNRIVER STARS ANNOUNCES AUDITIONS FOR THEIR WINTER PLAY
Be a part of the Sunriver STARS Community Theater’s winter production, Seniors of the Sahara, a romantic comedy featuring four male and four female roles. Open Auditions will be January 3 and 4 from 6-8pm. Auditions will take place at The Door, 56885 Enterprise Dr. in the Sunriver Business Park. The performance dates will be at The Door on March 2-4 and 8-10, at 7pm except for March 4, being a 3pm matinee.
In Seniors, Sylvia Goldberg, a respectable retired New Jersey schoolteacher, brings home more than just souvenirs upon returning from her grandson’s wedding in Israel. Sylvia’s troubles begin when she realizes that the old teapot she purchased at an outdoor market is actually a priceless relic containing a geriatric genie. See how the genie deals with modern society from his new base in Margate, New Jersey. Laughter abounds with the results.
