Auditions begin, with sessions in Arrow Rock, 3 Missouri cities and New York

Friday, February 22, 2008
The Arrow Rock Lyceum Theatre begins its annual auditions Friday, Feb. 22, in St. Louis and concludes on March 11 in New York City.

"Over the past two months, we have received several thousand submissions and from those many pictures and resumes, we will select the very best for our 2008 Season. It's always a very exciting time!" said Quin Gresham, Lyceum artistic director.

In addition to top-caliber professional talent, the Lyceum is also seeking talented children and amateur adults.

"Every year we give local actors the opportunity to work along side our nationally-chosen professional company," said Gresham. "We have terrific casting for young people this season and are hopeful that we'll see many options at our Columbia and Arrow Rock auditions."
