Tuesday, March 11^th

6:00-7:00pm

Miles City Public Library public meeting room

Auditions are open to children of all ages and abilities. Over 30 parts are available for local youth, with a wide variety of singing, dancing and challenging lines. This production of “The Wizard of Oz” contains the great show-stopping music of the original MGM 1939 film, starring Judy Garland. Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy’s imagination.

“Wizard” is directed by Barn Veterans Dan Hance and Hannah Nash, with choreography and group direction by Jenifer Mahan, and will grace the CCDHS Auditorium stage April 25^th and 26^th. 

Attention CCDHS students: rehearsals and preparation for "Wizard" will NOT conflict with your commitment to the current high school play (March 28 & 29). If you wish to audition for "Wizard" please contact the Directors Hannah and Dan to make the arrangements!

Youth wishing to audition should bring a parent or guardian for paperwork, and a short song to perform. Information on rehearsals, responsibilities, and performance specifics will be available for parental review during auditions.

Get out your lucky hat, because the Barn Players are about to unveil a mystery dinner show that spoofs the movie “Casablanca” and the American dream of winning the jackpot. Our 3rd annual fundraiser takes place at Rick’s club, the first legal gambling casino in the Poconos. Rick dreams of striking it rich – then two crafty Native Americans try to claim the land and his gold-digging ex-wife Lola shows up. Throw in a two-faced lawyer, an Australian Croc Chaser with bad luck, and two little old ladies on a gambling mission, and "making a killing" takes on a whole new meaning.

Auditions for "Trouble at the Tropicabana!"

Barn Players, Inc are holding open casting for this spring’s dinner theatre “Trouble at the Tropicabana”.  Open auditions for adults are:

Thursday, February 28^th & Tuesday, March 5^th

Miles City Public Library

6:00-7:30pm 

“Tropicabana” an "I Love Lucy" spoof with seven available parts--six of medium size and one small part and a few non-speaking roles.  If you plan to audition for Ricky, be ready to sing!  This is a fairly short play and ab-libbing is encouraged!

Travel back in time to the 1950s where the men were men and the women were wives...or cabana dancers...  Join your favorite "I Love Lucy" characters:  Ricky, Lucy, Fred, and Ethel on a crazy adventure in search of fame and fortune.  Movie mogul heiress Miss Ceila B. De Milo thinks Ricky has the right stuff to become the next "Cuban Clark Gable" but what he does not know is that Miss De Milo is really Cookie; gun-toting, sweet-talking partner-in-crime to none other than notorious gangster, Mr. Big.  The deadly duo has their sights on Ricky to take the fall for their next big heist-- robbing the bank that shares a wall with the Tropicabana!  Add in Ricky's illegal alien cousin Rosita, some cute cabana girls, classic Lucy and Ethel hijinks, and some high octane Cuban rum and you know someone is going to get hurt or even... murdered!

Performance dates for this dinner theatre are scheduled for April 19th and 20^th at the Park Place.  Please e-mail the director, Teresa Foley, at jsus_frk2000@yahoo.com, or call the Barn Players at (406) 951-0560 if you have any questions.

The Barn Players, Inc have been providing live, amateur theatre in Miles City since 1950. “Tropicabana” is our Spring opener, with the Children’s Musical auditions coming soon.

Phantom of the Op'ry Auditions

Barn Players, Inc. are proud to announce auditions for...


The Phantom of the Op'ry: The Musical
Tuesday, June 26th 6:00-7:00pmWednesday, June 27th, 6:00-7:00pmPublic Meeting Room, Miles City Public Library

21 parts are available for junior-high and up actors and actresses. Please bring a short musical piece to perform (NON-singing parts are also available); parts range from large to small. 

Performance Dates: August 17-19.

"Phantom" is a musical comedy-parody with lots of opportunities for laughter, physical comedy, silly songs, fancy costumes,and much more!

Forget Broadway! Forget Paris! This musical restaging of Gaston Leroux’s famous mystery beats them all for laughs. The flaky Op’ry House is located in Skunk Creek, Nevada. There’s fun aplenty as the phantom laughingly makes a star of "too good to be true" Christine Swansong, who dreams of a musical career. But star attraction Carlotta Barracuda will stop at nothing to see that she doesn’t get it. However, the spooky phantom’s goal is to see that Christine will replace Carlotta... or else! What is the phantom’s dark secret? Will he strike again? Musical show stoppers add to the intensive spark of this show, including "I Enjoy Being a Ghoul," "Absent With Leave" and "Patrons of the Arts."

Please spread the word on auditions to anyone who might be interested. If the listed audition times do not work for you, please contact Director Hannah Nash (406-951-0560, barnplays(AT)gmail.com) and we can make alternative audition arrangements.
