Performers of all ages sought for Carson City Follies production ‘Comedy thru the Ages’
CARSON CITY — Comedy thru the Ages, the 2020 production of the Carson Follies, is seeking actors, dancers, singers and stage personnel for its upcoming show July 10-12. Auditions will be held Thursday, March 5, and Tuesday, March 10, from 6-8 p.m. at the Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive in Carson City.
“Last year was a tremendous success having all ages of the community in our show,” Toni VanCleave, Follies director, said. “We’ve renamed our production from the Senior Follies to Carson Follies to showcase our Carson City family encouraging all ages to participate.”
VanCleave said no previous theater experience is required.
“Anyone who has ever wanted to try performing in front of a live audience is encouraged to audition,” she said. “We have many experienced performers that love to help new performers, and we look forward to another great production that offers a multi-generational experience for our community.”
The Follies, which is celebrating its 23rd year in production, is an annual fundraiser benefiting Meals on Wheels. In addition to performers, VanCleave said the production is also seeking sponsors.
“Sponsor logos and information will be featured in all advertising collateral, news releases and program materials,” she said. “The Follies is an opportunity to share Carson City’s generosity with our performing arts community and their supporters, as well as the people we serve.”
Meals on Wheels Carson City provides nutritious meals for over 300 homebound seniors daily, and expects demand to exceed more than 100,000 meals to local seniors this year.
