The Details:
Auditions will be held at Evergreen's new space
​located at the former Keller Elementary,
​1806 Bond St, Green Bay.

Auditions will consist of cold readings with other actors from a provided script. The director will NOT be looking at how well a participant reads the script but how they interact with others and their expressions. 

Participants will also be asked to sing a song of their choosing that they have prepared in advance. Pieces should be 1 minute or less. Participants who are only interested in ensemble parts are welcome to sing a ​simple song. Participants are expected to provide their own music. A Bluetooth speaker will be available in the audition room. If the director feels they need more, a participant may be asked to sing their piece a second time.   

​The Story:
It's the vibrant 1920s, complete with Ziegfeld girls, raccoon coats, ukuleles, goldfish swallowers, and gangsters! Polly Pepper, a young flapper, is about to turn 18 and will inherit an extraordinary diamond necklace. She is planning a wacky birthday party and is inviting all her friends. Buck Wayne, Polly's new boyfriend, wouldn't miss the birthday celebration for anything, even if he has to land his private plane on the lawn of the polo grounds. But watch out, trouble's in the air! Mobsters are planning to grab the necklace and have devised a clever con to crash Polly's party.
