SEASON AUDITIONS COMING UP
The 2010-2011 season promises to be a great one, but we need the help of all actors to make the shows come to life. Bye Bye Birdie in October opens the season and has lots of rolls for males and females high school age and up. Next is Cat's Cradle in January, a fun and interesting mystery with roles for males and females of all ages. The comedy, A Nice Family Gathering opens April. This show is "very Minnesotan" and also has roles for men and women of all ages. For more information about the shows see the Shows page.
Auditions are Saturday, July 24 at the Barron Area Community Center from 1-4 PM, Thursday, August 5 from 5-8, and Saturday, August 7 from 1-4. Music will be provided and readings from the scripts will be used for the non musicals. Come early, stay late as auditions are open and you're welcome to watch other people audition. See if your choices match the director's choices.

ANNUAL RECOGNITION DINNER A SUCCESS
Approximately 35 enthusiastic theatre supporters enjoyed a fine Italian dinner with spaghetti and all the fixin's. Delicious bars made by the Board members were also served. The dinner was prepared and served by the Board of Directors as their way of saying "thank you" to the people who participated in any way during the 2009-2010 season. Our own concessions manager, Dave Blumer, did a fine job "manning" the kitchen. The Board again thanks Four Square Church in Barron for allowing the Spotlighters to utilize their fine facilities.
Following the dinner a short annual meeting was convened and then the real fun began. Awards were presented, fine songs were sung, and activities of the year were highlighted with a short pictorial presentation.
Winning the People's Choice awards were Kristin Hoffman for In the Restroom at Rosenblooms, Terry Lee for Flaming Idiots, and Amanda Arnold for Just So.
