Open auditions for singers

Portal Players Dramatic Society is holding open auditions for chorus members for Reefer Madness: The Musical. Directed by Chris Arthurs, Reefer Madness takes a cheeky look at the hysteria caused by marijuana in the late 1930s.

The adult-only production is looking for 10 mixed gender chorus members who will act as background characters, singers, dancers and crew members.

Auditions take place Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre. Please come prepared with a song of your choice, either with piano accompaniment or karaoke CD.

Directors are also looking for a choreographer and a bass player. Please call 778-421-4203 for details.
