Auditions for “Lighthouse Fire Station”

Our performance of the mini-musical “Lighthouse Fire Station” will be on Friday, November 20, 2009. We will be performing at the church as part of a special night of worship.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday, October 14 from 6:30 – 7:00 pm and on Wednesday, October 21 from 6:30 – 7:00 pm.
