Casting teams are working to recognize and address implicit bias, and actors representing diversity in race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic background, body type, and ability are welcome. Although many characters were originally written within a gender binary, gender non conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non binary performers are encouraged to pursue the roles that best align with their identities. The creative team includes producer Krissy Justice, director and choreographer Spencer Genrich, assistant director Rene Dinh, and vocal director Melanie Aue. Those cast will pay a participation fee that helps cover typical production needs such as membership, a script, a show shirt, production photos, and a cast celebration.

2nd Street Performing Arts CenterAuditions for Disaster!
Auditions are being held for Disaster!, the parody of 1970s catastrophe films powered by a soundtrack of disco and pop favorites. The story unfolds aboard a flashy new casino and discotheque in 1979, where a glamorous crowd collides with a charming ladies’ man with a tender streak, a relentless reporter, a rule-bound disaster scientist, a lounge singer and her quick-switching twin children, a nun grappling with a gambling habit, a once-famous diva short on funds, a scheming owner, and a warmhearted retired couple. Quakes, waves, and fires turn a night of boogie into chaos as everyone fights to survive, rekindle lost love, and steer clear of some surprisingly dangerous creatures. Created by Seth Rudetsky and Jack Plotnick, from a concept by Rudetsky and Drew Geraci with additional material by Geraci, this production is directed by Brian Townsend with music direction by Paul Abbott and choreography by Jenna Williams. Auditions take place at the Players Guild of Dearborn. An audition form and conflict calendar must be completed in advance, including all known or possible scheduling conflicts. Be prepared for movement and dance, wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear, and bring tap shoes if you have tap experience. Character ages are approximate, and the Players Guild of Dearborn supports inclusive casting, welcoming performers of all races, ethnicities, identities, and orientations for every role. The casting breakdown features Chad Rubik, Scott, Professor Ted Scheider, Marianne Wilson, Tony Delvecchio, Jackie Noelle, her twins Ben and Lisa portrayed by one actor, Sister Mary Downey, Levora Verona, Shirley and Maury Summers, and an ensemble of party guests who also cover featured bits including a workman, the ship’s chef with a French accent, a bodyguard, a New York taxi driver, a waitress, and a wealthy couple.

The Ground Control Classic Film Series continues with a screening of His Girl Friday, hosted by Scottie and Paul. In this screwball newsroom tale, driven editor Walter Burns learns his ex-wife and star reporter Hildy Johnson plans to marry mild-mannered insurance agent Bruce Baldwin. He tempts her back to the beat with a story about the scheduled execution of Earl Williams, and when Hildy suspects Williams could be innocent, her journalistic instincts take charge. Celebrated for its rapid-fire dialogue and the crackling chemistry of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, the film barrels ahead once Walter and Hildy cross paths again. Expect laughs, newsroom banter, political shenanigans, and even a few false arrests. The movie is presented on an 85 inch hi-def 4K screen with sound through the Ground Control full range speaker system, with tasty snacks and time to mingle. Advance tickets are $3 with no added fees, or dine at Major Tomato before the show and a large pizza or more earns two free admissions.
