Auditions for Cinderella this week

ICCT - The Iowa City Community Theatre will be holding auditions for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella Thursday, October 14th at 7pm at Iowa City Rec Center (220 S. Gilbert), Friday, Oct 15th at 7pm at Johnson County Fairgrounds (4265 Oak Crest Hill Road) and Saturday, Oct. 16th at 2:30pm at the Iowa City Rec Center. Performances are December 10-19. Rehearsals begin Oct 18. Looking for all ages/ranges. Please bring a song to sing and be prepared for a cold read. For more information, contact Ben Bentler at 319-512-9834 or pianoartist@mac.com.

This show replaces Celebration,which was to be directed by Michael Stokes. After Michael resigned from the show, Ben Bentler offered to step in, but there were concerns about the short time frame. Ben suggested a different show with a later run. The board enthusiastically supported Ben's suggestion of Cinderella.

"Cinderella is a great fit for ICCT and our audiences," said Kehry Lane, ICCT president. "We feel it has great appeal for all ages, and will be a great show for the holiday season."

There's been a spate of replacement shows in the last year. ICCT replaced Bend in the Road with All the Timing last season. Similarly, City Circle went with Baltimore Waltz after having to cancel Threepenny Opera.
