Auditions:  Anyone interested in taking part in the show is encouraged to show up at auditions on May 23 at 7 P.M. at Upsala high school auditorium at 415 N. Main St, Upsala, MN. Be prepared to not only read lines, but also sing.  While singing and dancing are part of the play, all levels of singing are welcome. Actors are needed for 8 men and 6 women plus a large Chorus.Rehearsals will usually be three nights a week; smaller parts may not need to be present at all rehearsals. Synopsis:  Operatic singing sensation Christina Joseph leaves a promising career at La Scala and returns to her roots in Nashville, Tennessee, singing back-up at the Country Palace.  There she finds an enemy in an aging country diva and a mentor in a mysterious janitor determined to make her Country Music’s newest star.  It’s a splashy, hilarious Country Western send-up of the classic tale of horror The Phantom of the Opera, filled with irreverent wit, painful punning, and more than a touch of the absurd.Contact:  If you have concerns or questions, please call Pam Schoon at 320-573-2021 or Leonice Prokott at 320-573- 4965.
