Des Moines Playhouse Hosts BEYOND THE RAINBOW Auditions 11/15

Auditions for "Beyond the Rainbow" will be held at The Des Moines Playhouse at 6:00 P.M. on Sunday, Nov. 15. All auditions are open to the public; no one is pre-cast. Those auditioning for the Judy Garland role must bring a prepared solo; an accompanist will be provided.

"Beyond the Rainbow" contains feature roles for two men and three women, ages 16 and up. Performances are Jan. 29-Feb. 21. "Beyond the Rainbow" is directed by Deena Conley, with choreography by David Decker and music direction by Phil King.

Judy Garland's legendary Carnegie Hall concert is the setting for a musical journey through this amazing performer's life in "Beyond the Rainbow." Each of the show's 25 songs - "The Trolley Song," "Stormy Weather," "For Me and My Gal," "Over the Rainbow" - comes with a story of Judy's journey from poverty to stardom.

The Playhouse is Iowa's oldest and largest producing theatre. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
